First record of Chantransia macrospora Wood, 1887 (Batrachospermales, Rhodophyta) in semi-arid northeastern Brazil

This study presents the first record of Chantransia macrospora in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, in the semi-arid region of northeastern Brazil. Analyses of periphytic algae revealed C. macrospora individuals associated in particular with shells of Melanoides tuberculatus, a non-native species, s...
