Genetic and morphological variation in the genus Zygogonium (Zygnematophyceae, Charophyta) from localities in Europe and North America and description of Z. angustum, sp. nov.

Abstract excerpt

The globally distributed genus Zygogonium exhibits a narrow environmental range, with 19 morphologically described species. Its molecular characterization is poor, based on a single accession of the type species Z. ericetorum from Austria. We examined the genetic variability, morphology, and ultrastructure of field-collected Zygogonium material from different sampling sites in Austria, Norway, Ireland, Scotland,...
