The Gracilariales is a highly diverse, widely distributed order of red algae (Rhodophyta) that
forms a well-supported clade. Aside from their ecological importance, species of …

Parasitic red algae are an interesting system for investigating the genetic changes that occur
in parasites. These parasites have evolved independently multiple times within the red …

Continuing molecular studies of the red algal genus Dasya collected off the coast of
Bermuda have revealed two new species in the develo** D. cryptica species complex …

Despite the importance of morphological characters for classification, molecular data are
now more widely used than morphology in phylogenetic reconstructions, particularly in …

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 …

Until recently, the study of cyanobacteria and microalgae has been hampered by the need to
cultivate these organisms to gain insight into their cytomorphology, life cycle and molecular …

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 …

Cystocloniacae is a highly diverse family of Rhodophyta, including species of ecological and
economic importance, whose phylogeny remains largely unresolved. Species delimitation is …

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