Abstract excerpt
Carryover effects of UV-B radiation are largely unknown in marine invertebrates, despite the ecological importance. For the first time, we investigated fitness related traits of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius 8 weeks after short-term (1 h) UV-B radiations (0, 10 and 20 µW cm-2). Short-term UV-B radiations had significant negative effects on survival, food consumption, test diameter, test height,...
