Over the last decade, our knowledge of the phylogenetic and taxonomic diversity of coralline algae has greatly progressed thanks to the use of DNA sequence data. Despite this, in some geographic regions the knowledge of coralline diversity is still incomplete, because it is entirely based on traditi...
