| Notes | The red algae Graciliara vermiculophylla is a native of the northwestern Pacific region. Over the course of the last century, it has successfully invaded almost every temperate estuary on the other side of the ocean, in North America. This aggressive invader changes habitats, particularly by populating habitats that were formerly lacking algal cover. In this paper, the authors report on a survey of 61 sites, from Alaska to San Diego, and recorded 33 new sites where the species was found. “Our study fills in the significant gaps in the distribution of G. vermiculophylla in North America, and, as such, will be an important contribution to future studies on the ecological and evolutionary consequences of this widespread marine invasion along this coastline.” (from the Abstract) |
