Meeting Abstract

S3.3  Tuesday, Jan. 4  Speciation in the sea from an algal perspective PHILLIPS, naomi e; Arcadia University phillipsn@arcadia.edu

Understanding speciation in the sea has a long and interesting history. However, this has historically been addressed mainly from an animal perspective. We are just beginning to examine these processes for algae or marine plants. This talk will examine speciation in the sea historically and then examine mechanisms of speciation in marine plants in general. Then focus on what we know about speciation processes for brown algae.
