Ultraviolet absorption in transparent zooplankton and its implications for depth distribution and visual predation

The use of transparency as camouflage in the epipelagic realm is complicated by the presence of ultraviolet radiation, because the presence of UV-protective pigments decreases UV transparency and may reveal transparent zooplankton to predators and prey with UV vision.
