The influence of UV radiation on protistan evolution.

The Journal of eukaryotic microbiology - 1 Jan 2000

Rothschild L J

Abstract excerpt

Ultraviolet radiation has provided an evolutionary challenge to life on Earth. Recent increases in surficial ultraviolet B fluxes have focused attention on the role of UV radiation in protistan ecology, cancer, and DNA damage. Exploiting this new wealth of data, I examine the possibility that ultraviolet radiation may have played a significant role in the evolution of the first eukaryotes, that is, protists....
