Wound-activated algal compounds : toxic, apoptogenic and behavioural effects in marine invertebrates
Marine micro- and macro-algae produce wound-activated compounds (WACs) as a means to reduce the grazing pressure. However, the primary ecological role of WACs may have been modified by detoxification processes and/or co-evolutionary relationships to play physiologic and behavioural effects on consum...
