The genus Grateloupia C. Agardh (Halymeniaceae, Rhodophyta) in the Thau Lagoon (France, Mediterranean): A case study of marine plurispecific introductions
Based on morphological data and molecular analyses [Nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS), rbcL and mitochondrial cox2-cox3 spacer sequences] of Grateloupia spp. populations in the Thau Lagoon (France, Mediterranean) we demonstrated that at least five exotic species of Grateloupia were...
