Overview

Yuen K. Ip is a researcher affiliated with the National University of Singapore in Singapore. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with significant contributions in ecology, oceanography, and global and planetary change. The scientist's work spans multiple subfields including aquatic science and environmental chemistry, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to studying marine environments.

Their publications commonly address topics related to coral and marine ecosystems, marine bivalve and aquaculture studies, as well as marine biology and ecology research. Additional focal areas include marine and coastal ecosystems, ocean acidification effects and responses, aquaculture nutrition and growth, and physiological and biochemical adaptations in marine organisms.

Yuen K. Ip has authored several papers, notably:

  • Light-Dependent Phenomena and Related Molecular Mechanisms in Giant Clam-Dinoflagellate Associations: A Review, 2021, Frontiers in Marine Science
  • The fluted giant clam (Tridacna squamosa) increases nitrate absorption and upregulates the expression of a homolog of SIALIN (H+:2NO3− cotransporter) in the ctenidium during light exposure, 2020, Coral Reefs

Frequent co-authors in their research collaborations include:

  • Shit F. Chew
  • Mel V. Boo
  • Caryn Z. Pang
  • Wai Peng Wong
  • Jeslyn S. T. Poo

The venues where Yuen K. Ip's work commonly appears are:

  • Coral Reefs
  • Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A Molecular & Integrative Physiology
  • Frontiers in Marine Science
  • PLoS ONE
  • Gene Reports

Their research contributions involve detailed examination of physiological and molecular mechanisms associated with light exposure in marine bivalves such as giant clams. These studies often explore phototrophic potentials, nitrate absorption, protein abundance related to calcium uptake, and shell formation in species like Tridacna squamosa, providing insights into both biochemical and ecological processes.
