Phylogeography of the freshwater red alga Sirodotia (Batrachospermales, Rhodophyta) in Brazil

Summary Considering the lack of knowledge on genetic variation on members of the freshwater red algal of the order Batrachospermales in tropical regions, phylogeographic patterns in S irodotia populations were investigated using two mitochondrial regions: the cox 2‐3 spacer and partial cox1 gene (barcode). Individuals identified as S irodotia delicatula were analyzed from 14 stream segments across its distribution in B razil. Phylogenetic...
