▪ Abstract Organisms living in clear, shallow water are exposed to the damaging
wavelengths of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) coincident with the longer wavelengths of …

A community ecology approach to the study of the most common group of zooxanthellae,
dinoflagellates in the genus Symbiodinium, was applied to symbiotic invertebrate …

A database on UV-absorbing mycosporines and mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) has
been constructed that provides information on various mycosporines and MAAs reported in …

Light decisively affects the life of fungi, and is an absolute requirement for the formation of
their reproductive organs. 1 Ultraviolet (UV) light has been shown to induce sporulation in a …

The coral surface mucus layer provides a vital interface between the coral epithelium and
the seawater environment and mucus acts in defence against a wide range of environmental …

The interdisciplinary field of marine chemical ecology is an expanding and dynamic science.
It is no surprise that the breadth of marine organisms studied expanded in concert with …

The substantial loss in the stratospheric ozone layer and consequent increase in solar
ultraviolet radiation on the earth's surface have augmented the interest in searching for …

Continuous depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer has resulted in an increase in
ultraviolet-B (UV-B; 280–315 nm) radiation reaching the Earth's surface. UV radiation has …

The photostability and photophysical parameters of an aqueous solution of the mycosporine-
