Abstract excerpt
Following the treatment of Saccharina diabolica, S. ochotensis, and S. religiosa as varieties of S. japonica, the same authors reported independent genetic groups corresponding to the original distributions of these species described in 1902. However, other population genetic studies have not supported these genetic groups corresponding to the varieties, and these varietal names have been applied predominantly to...
