Colation in Antarctic sponges may be the result of relict pigments originally selected for aposematism or UV screens yet conserved because of their defensive properties, supported by the bioactive properties of pigments examined to date in a suite of common Antarctic spongees.

Test the ability of acidified krill pellets to deter fish and sea star predators and found that, while fish readily ingested acidified food pellets, sea stars were deterred at pH 5 or less, thus either organic or inorganic chemical defenses explain defense in 5 of the 7 ascidian species found unpalatable to sea stars.

- 2008
This chapter is intended as an overview of natural product chemistry with an emphasis on the chemical aspects of algal defensive metabolites, and it is hoped that algal ecologists will gain insight into the chemistry in the same manner that chemists will acquire a deeper understanding of the ecology from the remaining chapters of this book.
