The Antarctic marine flora is well known as a flora composed of relatively few species in comparison with other marine realms. Using molecular taxonomy as complementary tool for traditional taxonomy, we studied red macroalgal diversity and biogeography al This research was supported by the Instituto Antartico Chileno (INACH) T_16-11 and RG_15-16 projects and sampling in King George Island was funded by the Project Anillo ART1101 from Comision Nacional de Investigacion Cientifica y Tecnologica.
