Fitness costs and benefits of ultraviolet radiation exposure in marine pelagic copepods
2014-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Life‐history theory predicts that organisms should allocate energy throughout their life such that they maximize their fitness. Copepod zooplankton are known to accumulate sunscreens (so‐called mycosporine‐like amino acids, MAAs) and antioxidant carotenoids to mitigate negative effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR), but it is not well known how this affects their fitness. We followed cohorts of the marine copepod...
