The aggregation of coloring matter in a particular location in an organism, tissue or cell, occurring in response to a UV light stimulus. Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. A change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an external stimulus. The chemical reactions and pathways involving a pigment, any general or particular coloring matter in living organisms, as part of the accumulation of pigment. The aggregation of coloring matter in a particular location in an organism, tissue or cell, occurring in response to some external stimulus. The aggregation of coloring matter in a particular location in a cell, occurring in response to some external stimulus. The deposition or aggregation of coloring matter in an organism, tissue or cell. The aggregation of coloring matter in a particular location in a tissue, occurring in response to an external stimulus. A change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus.
