Abstract excerpt
The genus Ceratium comprises freshwater dinoflagellates with worldwide distribution, some of which are rapidly expanding their non-native range and altering community dynamics. Understanding their genetic diversity and population structure is essential for assessing dispersal mechanisms and geographic distribution patterns. Using complete and partial sequences of the 18S rRNA gene, we reconstructed a phylogenetic...
