Genetic analyses of rafted macroalgae reveal regional oceanographic connectivity patterns
Abstract Aim This study examines beach‐cast rafts of Durvillaea antarctica (bull kelp) along New Zealand's east coast to determine spatial variation in beach‐cast haplotype assemblages. By using genetic markers, the geographical origins of rafted D. antarctica samples can be determined, allowin...
