Journal ArticleDOI
Anthropogenic pollution of aquatic ecosystems: Emerging problems with global implications
Donat-P. Häder,Anastazia T. Banaszak,Virginia E. Villafañe,Virginia E. Villafañe,Maite Andrea Narvarte,Maite Andrea Narvarte,Raúl González,Raúl González,E. Walter Helbling,E. Walter Helbling +9 more
TL;DR: Five sources of anthropogenic pollution that affect marine and freshwater ecosystems are discussed: sewage, nutrients and terrigenous materials, crude oil, heavy metals and plastics, and the direct and indirect effects that these pollutants have on a range of aquatic organisms even when the pollutant source is distant from the sink.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultraviolet sunscreens in Gymnodinium sanguineum (dinophyceae): mycosporine-like amino acids protect against inhibition of photosynthesis
TL;DR: Experiments show that MAAs act as spectrally specific UV sunscreens in phytoplankton, and that the high‐light‐grown cultures have lower sensitivity to UV radiation at wavelengths strongly absorbed by the MAAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation in nitrogen-limited dinoflagellates: Photoprotection and repair
TL;DR: Nitrogen limitation significantly increased the sensitivity of photosynthesis to inhibition by ultraviolet radiation (UV) in two estuarine dinoflagellates, Akashiwo sanguinea and Gymnodinium, and biological weighting functions and the kinetics of photosynthetic response to UV indicated that the main mechanism for the increase was less efficient repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The present 2017 Update Report assesses some of the highlights and new insights about the interactive nature of the direct and indirect effects of UV radiation, atmospheric processes, and climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
The synthesis of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) by cultured, symbiotic dinoflagellates.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that there is a relation between phylotypes (phylogenetic types) and the synthesis of mycosporine-like amino acids by symbiotic dinoflagellates under the influence of ultraviolet radiation and photosynthetically active radiation is tested.
