Stress of life at the ocean's surface: Latitudinal patterns of UV sunscreens in plankton across the Atlantic
Description: To provide insights into stress caused by UV to plankton at the surface layer, researchers examined the occurrence of protective UV-absorbing compounds called mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) in seston and zooplankton along an Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) between 45°S and 50°N.
