Taxonomically diverse marine, freshwater and terrestrial organisms have evolved the
capacity to synthesize, accumulate and metabolize a variety of UV-absorbing substances …

The health of freshwater and marine ecosystems is critical to life on Earth. The impact of
solar UV-B radiation is one potential stress factor that can have a negative impact on the …

Microbial ecology is the study of interactions among microbes in natural environments and
their roles in biogeochemical cycles, food web dynamics, and the evolution of life. Microbes …

In this report, we provide a perspective on how zooplankton are able to respond to present
and future levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, a threat that has been present throughout …

While many laboratory and field studies show that zooplankton are negatively affected when
exposed to high intensities of ultraviolet radiation (UVR), most studies also indicate that …

We analyzed the genetic diversity (V4 region of the 18S rRNA) of planktonic microbial
eukaryotes in four high mountain lakes including two remote biogeographic regions (the …

Kappaphycus alvarezii is a seaweed of great economic importance for the extraction of
kappa carrageenan from its cell walls. The most common strains are dark red, brown, yellow …

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) affects macroalgae in many important ways, including reduced
growth rate, reduction of primary productivity and changes in cell biology and ultrastructure …

We report a summary of the symposium “Stress and Protists: No life without stress”, which
was held in September 2015 on the VII European Congress of Protistology in partnership …

The effects of ultraviolet radiation-B (UVBR) in apical segments of the red macroalgae
Gracilaria domingensis (Kützing) Sonder ex Dickie were examined in vitro. Over a period of …
