An examination of UV radiation tolerance and photoenzymatic repair capabilities across temperature in the freshwater cladocerans Scapholeberis mucronata, Diaphanosoma birgei, and Moina spp

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has multiple consequences to freshwater organisms. Some zooplanktons use photoenzymatic repair (PER), which is a process that utilizes ultraviolet-A and visible light (photorepair radiation, PRR) to repair ultraviolet-B-induced DNA damage. Some zooplanktons also repair dam...
