Characterizing the phylogenetic distribution of cryptic species in the Rhodophyta using novel gene sequence analysis and molecular morphometrics
The Rhodophyta (red algae) are an ancient crown group of the Eukarya (ca. 1400-1500 million years), comprised of 5000 - 6000 species. Gametophytes of taxa excluding the speciose Class Florideophyceae are typically of very simple unicellular, filamentous or foliose morphologies. These simple morpholo...
