This assessment summarises the current state of knowledge on the interactive effects of
ozone depletion and climate change on aquatic ecosystems, focusing on how these affect …

Human-driven environmental change underlies recent changes in water clarity in many of
the world's great lakes, yet our understanding of the consequences of these changes on the …

Ultraviolet (UV) cones are photoreceptors that sense light in the range 300–450 nm and are
found in the retinas of non-mammalian vertebrates and small mammals. Despite their …

Animal visual systems adapt to environmental light on various timescales. In scotopic
conditions, evolutionary time‐scale adaptations include spectral tuning to a narrower light …

Maintaining optimal visual performance is a difficult task in the photodynamic coastal and
estuarine waters in which western North Atlantic sciaenid fishes support substantial …

xiv Preface targets. Being free from issues related to the 'heritage of the commons' and the
free access that constrains the regulatory frameworks of action in ocean fisheries …

Visual signalling can be affected by both the intensity and spectral distribution of
environmental light. In shallow aquatic habitats, the spectral range available for visually …

Most of the studies devoted to assess the effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) on fishes have
been done with early life stages (ie, eggs and larvae) as they are the most vulnerable to …

Objectives Locomotion is essential for the survival of animals. Fishes have evolved
mechanisms to minimize the cost of transport. For example, Bluegill Sunfish (Lepomis …

In aquatic environments, visual communication is expected in animals that inhabit clear,
shallow waters. Here, we investigate variation in the colorful traits of bluegills, Lepomis …
