摘要: As part of an extensive DNA-based floristic survey marine macroalgae in Canadian waters, unexpected sequence for a Gracilaria sp. was generated from British Columbia. Before further molecular analyses and corresponding morphological/anatomical observations this mystery temporarily entered into our database as BCsp. Continued sampling uncovered species four additional locations. A timely collaboration with international colleagues introduced sequences the invasive vermiculophylla cytochrome c oxidase I alignments — these perfect match to BCsp indicating that occurs discussion origin taxon whether natural or introduced, is provided.
