Ultraviolet radiation induced a lower mortality in morphs of A canthodiaptomus denticornis, coloured red by carotenoid pigments, than in translucent morphs. Calculations showed that ultraviolet penetration in a lake of low chlorophyll-a content may cause a hazardous dose in the surface layers. Experiments confirmed this.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
