DNA barcoding reveals cryptic diversity, taxonomic conflicts and novel biogeographical insights in Cystoseira s.l. (Phaeophyceae)
Cystoseira sensu lato (s.l.) - encompassing the genera Cystoseira sensu stricto (s.s.), Ericaria and Gongolaria - is a diverse group of forest-forming brown macroalgae endemic to the warm-temperate North-east Atlantic. These algae have immense biogeographic and ecological significance and have been...

Cystoseira sensu lato (s.l.) - encompassing the genera Cystoseira sensu stricto (s.s.), Ericaria and Gongolaria - is a diverse group of forest-forming brown macroalgae endemic to the warm-temperate North-east Atlantic. These algae have immense biogeographic and ecological significance and have been experiencing recent regional declines. Most Cystoseira s.l. display important morphological plasticity and can be confused with similar species. Therefore, species boundaries, geographic ranges and phylogenetic affinities remain imprecise for most. In the face of persistent taxonomic difficulties, several authors underlined the necessity for new molecular-based approaches, but studies so far lacked representativity, resolution and standardization. To fill in these gaps, in this study we sequenced a comprehensive collection of Cystoseira s.l. spanning its entire North-east Atlantic range for a similar to 1200 bp cox1 barcode, and sequenced selected individuals representing major genetic entities for a few additional plastid markers.
