Genetic data from the red alga Palmaria palmata reveal a mid-Pleistocene deep genetic split in the North Atlantic

Aim We examined the biogeographical divergence, population-level genetic differentiation and historical genetic exchange of the red macroalga Palmaria palmata in order to test whether populations on opposite sides of the North Atlantic underwent different demographic histories.
