Population Structure of the Red Macroalga Botryocladia occidentalis (Børgesen) Kylin (Rhodymeniaceae, Rhodymeniales) in the Gulf of Mexico Before the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

Population Structure of the Red Macroalga Botryocladia occidentalis (Børgesen) Kylin (Rhodymeniaceae, Rhodymeniales) in the Gulf of Mexico Before the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

Studies on the population structure of common widespread macroalgae in the Gulf of Mexico (GoMx) are scarce, and this knowledge gap limits our understanding on how disturbances affect the genetic diversity of macroalgae in this basin. The latter is due to the lack of a baseline that can be compared...
