Deep genetic divergence between austral populations of the red alga gigartina skottsbergii reveals a cryptic species endemic to the antarctic continent

The almost complete isolation of Antarctica after the intensification the Antarctic circumpolar current (ACC) during the middle-Miocene has been challenged by recent molecular data showing the existence of allelic exchange across the ACC. For organisms p
