Mass spectrometry imaging reveals differential localization of natural sunscreens in the mantle of the giant clam Tridacna crocea

Giant clams have evolved to maximize sunlight utilization by their photosymbiotic partners, while affording them protection from harmful ultraviolet (UV) light. The presence of UV absorbing substances in the mantle is thought to be critical for light protection; however, the exact localization of su...
