Copepod Mortality due to Short-Term Exposure to Natural Ultraviolet Radiation at Subtropical Latitudes. [PDF]
Ecol EvolZooplankton are key nodes in the food web. We demonstrate that approximately 40%–50% of the copepods died following a few hours of exposure to outdoor ultraviolet radiation (UV). The defence mechanisms of these organisms were insufficient to mitigate this environmental threat.

Distribution and Abundance of MAAs in 33 Species of Microalgae across 13 Classes
Marine Drugs, 2010 We provide a direct comparison of the distribution and abundance of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) in a diverse range of microalgal cultures (33 species across 13 classes) grown without supplementary ultraviolet radiation (UV).

Marine Drugs, 2022 Due to their hostile habitats, characterized by a high exposure to UV-A and UV-B radiation, red algae are known to synthesize unique secondary metabolites: mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs). These small molecules possess an extremely high UV absorption

Photoprotective responses of three intertidal Antarctic macroalgae to short-term temperature stress
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The Antarctic Peninsula is experiencing one of the highest warming rates globally. In polar regions, macroalgae thrive under extreme environmental conditions, which could worsen because of future climate change scenarios, including increased ultraviolet ...

Advances in organic UV filters for sunscreens over the past decade
Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.Highlighted organic UV filter frameworks that have been described for sunscreens over the past decade divided into three groups: derivatives of or inspired by approved organic UV filters, natural product‐based compounds, and miscellaneous. Abstract Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major environmental factor in photoaging, erythema, and skin cancer ...
