Molecular analyses of turf algae reveal a new species and an undetected introduction in the Pterosiphonieae (Rhodomelaceae, Rhodophyta)
P Díaz‐Tapia, WA Nelson… - Journal of Phycology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Introduced seaweeds and undescribed species often remain undetected because marine
regional floras are as yet poorly understood. DNA sequencing facilitates their detection, but …
