Coral reef ecosystems thrive in tropical oligotrophic oceans because of the relationship
between corals and endosymbiotic dinoflagellate algae called Symbiodinium …

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 …

Variations in stratospheric ozone and changes in the aquatic environment by climate
change and human activity are modifying the exposure of aquatic ecosystems to UV …

Unprecedented changes in coral reef systems have focused attention on a wide range of
stressors on local, regional, and global spatial scales but global climate change resulting in …

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from the sun is a natural daytime stressor for vertebrates in both
terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. UVR effects on the physiology of vertebrates manifest at …

Transcriptome and genome data from twenty stony coral species and a selection of
reference bilaterians were studied to elucidate coral evolutionary history. We identified …

Dredging, river plumes and natural resuspension events can release sediments into the
water column where they exert a range of effects on underlying communities. In this review …

There is increasing pressure from policymakers for ecologists to generate more detailed
'attribution'analyses aimed at quantitatively estimating relative contributions of different …

Large changes in oxygen availability in aquatic environments, ranging from anoxia through
to hyperoxia, can lead to corresponding wide variation in the production of reactive oxygen …

The surface of the Earth is exposed to harmful ultraviolet radiation (UVR: 280–400 nm).
Prolonged skin exposure to UVR results in DNA damage through oxidative stress due to the …
