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

This paper provides an analysis of the distribution patterns of marine biodiversity and
summarizes the major activities of the Census of Marine Life program in the Caribbean …

The advent of molecular data has transformed the science of organizing and studying life on
Earth. Genetics-based evidence provides fundamental insights into the diversity, ecology …

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 …

A changing climate is driving increasingly common and prolonged marine heatwaves
(MHWs) and these extreme events have now been widely documented to severely impact …

Abstract Background The marine dinoflagellate, Symbiodinium, is a well-known
photosynthetic partner for coral and other diverse, non-photosynthetic hosts in subtropical …

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 …

Coral mortality due to climate-associated stress is likely to increase as the oceans get
warmer and more acidic. Coral bleaching and an increase in infectious disease are linked to …

As ocean temperatures rise, investigations into what the physiological effects will be on the
symbiotic microalga Symbiodinium, and how these may play into the cnidarian bleaching …

Solar radiation represents a key abiotic factor in the evolution of life in the oceans. In
general, marine, biota—particularly in euphotic and dysphotic zones—depends directly or …
