ESCAPE FROM UV THREATS IN ZOOPLANKTON: A COCKTAIL OF BEHAVIOR AND PROTECTIVE PIGMENTATIONLARS-ANDERS HANSSON, SAMUEL HYLANDER, AND RUBEN SOMMARUGA. 2007.Ecology, 88(8), 2007, pp. 1932–1939 Speaker: Yu-ju Chen
Purpose • UV-radiation level influences the accumulation of protective pigments. • Model animal: Daphnia • Locations: Siberia & Sweden Daphnia
Result: Behavioral and phenotypic Siberia Sweden U V U V U V U V
Conclusion • UV defense among zooplankton is based on both phenotypic and behavioral responses. • Daphnia seem to rely on a combination of avoidance and pigments.
