UV Absorption by Gerrid Cuticles
The data associated with this publication are within the manuscript.
Abstract
Halobates is exposed to continuous insolation at the sea surface throughout its life. Although the UV-absorbance spectrum of its dorsal cuticle (260-450 nm) is similar to those of related species from inshore and freshwater habitats where shelter from sunlight is available, the UV absorbance of the cuticle in a direction perpendicular to its outer surface is much higher in Halobates than in a mangrove-dwelling Rheumatobates or a stream-dwelling Gerris.
