Invasive species have been a focus of concern in recent decades, becoming more
problematic due to the cumulative impacts of climate change. Understanding the interactions …

The trend in naming genera based almost exclusively on molecular data, and not on
morphological diagnostic characters, is increasing. In bifurcating phylogenetic trees generic …

Abstract Background and Aims Kelps are the primary foundation species in temperate
subtidal rocky shores worldwide. However, global change is causing their decline with …

Cryptic diversity is common among marine macroalgae, with molecular tools leading to the
discovery of many new species. To assign names to these morphologically similar species …

Molecular analyses, in combination with morphological studies, provide invaluable tools for
delineating red algal taxa. However, molecular datasets are incomplete and taxonomic …

The fifth addendum to Schneider and Wynne's 2007 “A synoptic review of the classification
of red algal genera a half century after Kylin's 1956 'Die Gattungen der Rhodophyceen'” is …

Up to the present study, only 8.5% of the 522 macroalgal species reported at the Azores
have sequences deposited in GenBank and BOLD public repositories. The sequences of …

We assessed the range of morphological variation in Devaleraea mollis from the Northwest
Pacific. Genetic analyses based on the 5'end of the genes coding for cytochrome c oxidase I …

Introduced seaweeds and undescribed species often remain undetected because marine
regional floras are as yet poorly understood. DNA sequencing facilitates their detection, but …

The present study adds 19 species (15 Rhodophyta, one Chlorophyta and three
Ochrophyta) to the Azorean marine macroalgal flora, increasing the current total of species …
