Mycosporine-like amino acids protect the copepod Boeckella titicacae (Harding) against high levels of solar UVR

Studies were conducted in Lake Titicaca, Bolivia (16°S, 69°W, 3810 m a.s.l.) to determine the effects of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR; 280–400 nm) and the protective role of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) in the calanoid copepod Boeckella titicacae (Harding). Zooplankton samples were taken...
