Plasticity in pigmentation induced by conflicting threats from predation and UV radiation (2004, background): “The ability to adjust the level of protective pigments may prove beneficial in several ways, such as allowing for utilization of shallower depths, thereby increasing the depth range and the access to algal food (Johnsen and Widder 2001).”
Production of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the open ocean by zooplankton and the colonial cyanobacterium Trichodesmium spp. (2004, background): “…pelagic ecosystems (e.g. Herring 1967, McFall-Ngai 1990), and the inherent optical properties of some zooplankton have been studied (Johnsen 2000, Johnsen & Widder 2001), few data exist with regard to the optical properties of their excretion products (organic or inorganic), which may absorb UV…”
