“…Molecular analysis was by far the most effective method of species level identification in this work and rbcL sequences supported much more precise identifications as previously reported (Gargiulo et Kim, 2015). Saudi Arabia coasts are undiscovered areas for seaweeds ecology, this study was successful to report some known species in this area.…”

“…This was an expected outcome given that the systematics and taxonomy of the Grateloupia spp. complex and related genera (e.g., Pachymeniopsis ) have been proposed, established, discussed and rearranged using the rbc L gene (i.e., Wang et al, 2001; Wilkes, Mcivor & Guiry, 2005; De Clerck et al, 2005a; De Clerck et al, 2005b; Lin, Liang & Hommersand, 2008; Lee et al, 2009; Zhang et al, 2012; Gargiulo, Morabito & Manghisi, 2013; Yang & Kim, 2015). However, the COI gene has potential to become an equally effective marker for species identifications in red algae in the future as outlined in the past in other genera (Saunders, 2005; Freshwater et al, 2010; Saunders & Moore, 2013) supported by our (limited) success here.…”

BackgroundThe introduction of exotic species can have serious consequences for marine ecosystems. On the shores of the Cantabrian Sea (North of Spain) there are no routine examinations of seaweeds that combine molecular and morphological methods for early detection of exotic species making it difficult to assess in the early stages their establishment and expansion processes as a result of anthropogenic activities (e.g., shipping and/or aquaculture).MethodsIn this work we used both morphological identification and molecular barcoding (COI-5P and rbcL genes) of red algae collected in Asturias, Bay of Biscay (Gijón and Candás harbours) and from the University of Oviedo’s herbarium samples.ResultsThe results confirmed the presence of exotic Asian seaweeds Pachymeniopsis gargiuli and Grateloupia turuturu Yamada on Cantabrian Sea shores. Several individuals of these species were fertile and developing cystocarps when collected, underlining the risk of possible expansion or continued establishment. This study constitutes the first report of the Asian P. gargiuli in this area of the Bay of Biscay.ConclusionsHere the presence of the exotic species of the Halymeniales P. gargiuli is confirmed. We hypothesize that this species may have been established some time ago as a cryptic introduction with G. turuturu in Galician shores. The detection of these species on the shores of the Cantabrian Sea is relevant since introductions of Pachymeniopsis species could have been overlooked on other European coasts, probably mixed with G. turuturu and P. lanceolata. Our results confirm one new alien seaweed species that has been detected using molecular methods (COI-5P region and rbcL genes barcoding) on North Atlantic shores: the Asian native P. gargiuli. This demonstrates that routine screening for early detection of exotic algae in the Cantabrian Sea can be used for risk assessment. Genetic barcoding should be done using both rbcL gene and COI-5P regions since, although COI-databases are still poorer in sequences and this inhibits successful outcomes in Grateloupia-related species identifications, it is nonetheless a useful marker for species-level identifications in seaweeds.

“…Recent studies of the family Rhodomelaceae used the plastid-encoded ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase / oxygenase large subunit gene (rbcL) and uncovered several novel species (Kim et al 2012, Kang and. DNA barcoding, such as the 5′ end of mitochondrialencoded cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI-5P) has also proved the effective for species-level identification of red algae (Le Gall and Saunders 2010, Saunders and McDonald 2010, Sherwood et al 2010, Yang and Kim 2015. The COI-5P marker has been successfully utilized in studies of the genus Herposiphonia and revealed cryptic species diversity in the Iberian Peninsula and Western Australia (Díaz-Tapia and , Huisman et al 2015.…”

We examined the species diversity of Herposiphonia on Korean coasts, based on a combination of morphology and molecular analyses of the mitochondrial COI-5P DNA barcode marker and plastid rbcL gene. We report the presence of eight species including three novel species: H. donghaensis sp. nov., H. jejuinsula sp. nov., H. sparsa sp. nov., H. caes pitosa, H. fissidentoides, H. insidiosa, H. parca, and H. subdisticha. Specimens were separated into eight clades in both the COI-5P and rbcL gene analyses, with 1.3-19.6 and 6.6-15% interspecific sequence divergence, respectively. These eight species are also distinguishable by several morphological characteristics such as: branching pattern (d/i pattern in H. donghaensis sp. nov. and H. sparsa sp. nov.; d/d/d/i pattern in others), shape of determinate branch (ligulate in H. fissidentoides; terete in others), number of vegetative trichoblasts (1-2 in H. insidiosa and H. sparsa sp. nov.; 3-4 in H. caespitosa; absent in others), and number of segments and pericentral cells in determinate branches. About three novel species revealed by our analyses, H. donghaensis sp. nov. is newly discovered, and H. jejuinsula sp. nov. and H. sparsa sp. nov. were previously reported in Korea as H. nuda and H. secunda, respectively. Our results show that DNA barcoding and rbcL analyses are useful for delimiting species boundaries and discovering cryptic species diversity in the genus Herposiphonia.
