Photosynthesis at saturation light levels (Psat) does not change in crossed transplants from 3 to 20 and from 20 to 3 m neither after 11 or 90 days. However, production at low light levels (Pb) increased in transplants from 3 to 20 m and decreased in transplants from 20 to 3 m after 90 days. Photosynthesis, both at high and low light levels increased from June to September. Seasonality explained most of the variance (70%) in the values of Psat, whilst transplantation explained 47% of the variance for Pb and Rd. Thus, E. brachycarpa is able to adapt its photosynthetic performances across its depth distribution limits and easily cope with sudden variations in the light environment associated or not with seasonality.","PeriodicalId":51000,"journal":{"name":"Cryptogamie Algologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80745464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, recent studies including the use of molecular markers have allowed us to revisit the taxonomical status of species thought to be well known, underlying the existence of unexpected Antarctic flora diversity at local and regional scale. In the present study, samples of green macroalgae along the Western Antarctic Peninsula (from the 62°S down to the 66°S) were sequenced for two genetic markers regularly used for species determination and barcoding in Chlorophyta (i.e., the plastid genes tufA and rbcL). From the 122 specimens of Chlorophyta sampled, 85 were sequenced for the gene tufA and 16 for the gene rbcL. Using the NCBI Nucleotide Blast Tool to compare our sequences to the ones available in public data depositories allowed the identification of 11 species. Three new species were reported for the area: Rosenvingiella radicans (Kütz.) Rindi, L.McIvor & Guiry, Urospora wormskioldii (Mertens) Rosenvinge and Ulvella islandica R.Nielsen & K.Gunnarsson. Furthermore, molecular identification revealed strong match (> 95%) between our Antarctic sequences and the ones obtained for samples from the northern hemisphere for Acrosiphonia arcta (Dillwyn) Gain, Prasiola crispa (Lightfoot) Kützing, Prasiola antarctica Kützing 1849, R. radicans, Ulva sp. A-GW, U. islandica, Urospora penicilliformis (Roth) Areschoug and U. wormskioldii confirming the amphipolar distribution of various taxa of Antarctic Trebouxiophyceae and Ulvophyceae. Amphipolar distribution seems more common in green than red or brown Antarctic seaweeds, so here we hypothesize that recurrent occurrence of long dispersal events could explain the low level of endemism observed for this phylum along the Antarctic coasts.","PeriodicalId":51000,"journal":{"name":"Cryptogamie Algologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77475351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, classical taxonomy based only on morphological characters, is problematic within this genus. The use of molecular tools has uncovered cryptic genetic species, mistakenly grouped under the name of morphological species that are common and widespread (including the generitype Plocamium cartilagineum (Linnaeus) P.S.Dixon). The aim of this work was to evaluate the species diversity of Plocamium in Southern Chile. For this purpose, three independent molecular markers were sequenced in samples collected from seven populations located between 41°S and 54°S. The species diversity was evaluated using phylogenetic reconstructions and two independent methods for species delimitation (ABGD and GMYC). The outcomes of each method were congruent, suggesting the presence of three species in Southern Chile. One species, named Plocamium sp. 1, is restricted to Punta Guabún, the only locality sampled north of the biogeographic barrier of the 42°S. The other two species, Plocamium sp. 2 and 3 are distributed in sympatry in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. The three Chilean species form a clade phylogenetically close to sequences obtained from New Zealand and Australia and a divergence along the coasts of Chile after past transoceanic dispersal is proposed. We propose that divergence in glacial microrefugia could have subsequently happen in the southern part of the coast, this hypothesis being supported by the strong impact of glacial maxima on population dynamics, especially in Plocamium sp. 3.","PeriodicalId":51000,"journal":{"name":"Cryptogamie Algologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85267503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This type of corrugated Lessonia is uncommon, with exception of two species from New Zealand. Three possible hypotheses for its origin were explored in this study: an introduction of L. adamsiae Hay or L. corrugata Lucas from New Zealand by trans-oceanic dispersal; a hybridization between Chilean Lessonia species and Macrocystis pyrifera C.Agardh, particularly abundant in the region; or the existence of a new, undescribed species. Except for their corrugate blades, the individuals displayed short cylindrical stipes, digitate holdfasts, abundant mucilage cavities in the cortex, and reproductive sori on the proximal part of the blades, all traits typical of the genus Lessonia. Molecular phylogenies based on mitochondrial (atp8-trnS spacer, cox1, cox3) and nuclear (ITS1) markers revealed that this corrugate form of Lessonia is neither the result of hybridization with Macrocystis C.Agardh nor an introduction of Australasian corrugate species, L. corrugata or L. adamsiae, but has a close affinity with L. flavicans Bory. Field prospection in five sites along the Beagle Channel indicated that the species occurs in shallow depth (4-6 m), as dense populations of 100% of corrugated individuals, never intermixed with populations of L. flavicans. The possibility of an incipient speciation process in the region is discussed. RÉSUMÉ Populations d'un nouveau morphotype de corrugate Lessonia Bory dans le canal Beagle, écorégion subantarctique de Magellan: un cas possible de spéciation en cours. Au cours d'une expédition de 2007 consacrée à l'étude de la diversité du kelp dans la région de Magellan, des spécimens de Lessonia Bory aux lames ondulées et jaunâtres ont été trouvés le long du canal Beagle. Ce type de Lessonia ondulé est peu commun, à l'exception de deux espèces de Nouvelle-Zélande. Trois hypothèses possibles concernant son origine ont été explorées dans cette étude: une introduction de L. adamsiae Hay ou L. corrugata Lucas de Nouvelle-Zélande par dispersion transocéanique; une hybridation entre l'espèce chilienne Lessonia et Macrocystis pyrifera C.Agardh, particulièrement abondante dans la région; ou l'existence d'une nouvelle espèce non décrite. À l'exception de leurs lames ondulées, les individus présentaient des stipes cylindriques courts, des crampons digitaux, d'abondantes cavités de mucilage dans le cortex et des sores de reproduction sur la partie proximale des lames, tous des traits typiques du genre Lessonia.

No further investigations have been conducted on this peculiar species since, but recently it has been recorded in contiguous Lebanon and outside the Mediterranean. Our work was aimed at confirming the taxonomic validity and endemic nature of this species, including its position among the recently split Cystoseira sensu stricto, Carpodesmia Greville and Treptacantha Kützing genera, by sequencing the mitochondrial COI gene and by examining morphological characteristics in samples from three different sites in northern Israel. Notwithstanding considerable morphological plasticity, molecular analyses revealed a single unique COI sequence.
