  • durvillaea poha sp nov fucales Phaeophyceae a buoyant southern bull kelp species endemic to new zealand
    Phycologia, 2012
    Co-Authors: Ceridwen I. Fraser, Hamish G. Spencer, Jonathan M. Waters
    Abstract:

    Abstract Fraser C.I., Spencer H.G. and Waters J.M. 2012. Durvillaea poha sp. nov. (Fucales, Phaeophyceae): a buoyant southern bull-kelp species endemic to New Zealand. Phycologia 51: 151–156. DOI: 10.2216/11-47.1 Recent molecular and morphological research has demonstrated that the southern bull-kelp genus Durvillaea includes multiple as-yet-unnamed phylogenetic species. One of these, which has previously been recognised as genetically, morphologically and ecologically distinct (the ‘cape’ lineage of D. antarctica, endemic to the New Zealand region), is here described, and named Durvillaea poha sp. nov. Additional molecular analyses (28S sequence data) support the distinct status of this divergent lineage. No evidence of hybridisation among sympatric D. poha and D. antarctica has been observed.

  • Multigene phylogeny of the southern bull-kelp genus Durvillaea (Phaeophyceae: Fucales).
    Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2010
    Co-Authors: Ceridwen I. Fraser, David J. Winter, Hamish G. Spencer, Jonathan M. Waters
    Abstract:

    Abstract Durvillaea (southern bull-kelp) is an economically and ecologically important brown algal genus that dominates many exposed, rocky coasts in the cold-temperate Southern Hemisphere. Of its five currently-recognized species, four are non-buoyant and restricted to the south-western Pacific, whereas one is both buoyant and widely distributed. Durvillaea has had an unsettled taxonomic history. Although its position within the brown algae (Phaeophyceae) has now been largely resolved through the use of molecular techniques, the taxonomic status of several Durvillaea species/morphotypes remains unresolved. Previous molecular phylogenetic studies of phaeophycean taxa have included few Durvillaea samples, and have consequently paid little or no attention to variation within this genus. The current study presents phylogenetic analyses of four genetic markers (mitchondrial: COI; chloroplast: rbcL; and nuclear: 18S and 28S) to resolve phylogenetic relationships within Durvillaea. Results support the monophyly of solid-bladed taxa D. willana, D. potatorum, and D. sp. A (an undescribed species from the Antipodes Islands), whereas the widespread, buoyant D. antarctica is paraphyletic, with solid-bladed D. chathamensis placed sister to a D. antarctica clade from northern NZ but within D. antarctica sensu lato. The phylogenetic and ecological diversity detected within D. antarctica indicate that it is a species complex of five deeply divergent clades. Under a phylogenetic species concept, Durvillaea can be interpreted as a complex of nine distinct evolutionary lineages, only one of which has an intercontinental distribution (‘subantarctic’ D. antarctica).

  • the invasive kelp undaria pinnatifida Phaeophyceae laminariales reduces native seaweed diversity in nuevo gulf patagonia argentina
    Biological Invasions, 2004
    Co-Authors: Graciela N Casas, Ricardo A Scrosati, Maria Luz Piriz
    Abstract:

    The kelp Undaria pinnatifida(Phaeophyceae) is a seaweed native to northeast Asia, but during the last two decades, it has been accidentally or intentionally introduced in several temperate coasts worldwide. In central Patagonia (Argentina), this species was first detected in late 1992, and it is progressively spreading from the point of introduction. Through a manipulative experiment involving Undaria removal in 2001, we found that its presence is associated with a dramatic decrease in species richness and diversity of native seaweeds in Nuevo Gulf. Future prospects are worrisome, as, in addition to the negative impact from a biodiversity viewpoint, native commercial macroalgae and invertebrates might also be affected.
