Human skin is constantly exposed to damaging ultraviolet radiation (UVR), which induces a
number of acute and chronic disorders. To reduce the risk of UV-induced skin injury, people …

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

Amongst the diversity of methods used by organisms to reduce damage caused by
ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the synthesis of UV-screening compounds is almost ubiquitous …

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

Recent widespread bleaching of coral reef anthozoans has been observed on the Great
Barrier Reef, the Pacific coast of Panama, and in the Caribbean Sea. Bleaching events have …

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 …

To investigate the natural defenses of Antarctic marine organisms against exposure to
ultraviolet (UV) radiation (280 to 320 nm), 57 species (1 fish, 48 invertebrates, and 8 algae) …

The antioxidant activities of aqueous extracts of tissues from four different marine species
containing mycosporine-like amino acids were examined by their peroxyl radical-trapping …

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 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 …
