Abstract

This projects will investigate 2bRAD population genomics of the red algae Furcellaria lumbricalis, in order to answer questions related to the formation and connectivity of their drifting mat-forming morph. This knowledge will be used for marine conservation, specifically for seagrass meadows which compete with these algal mats. In addition to genotyping, the analyses I will perform are mostly related to genetic structure and gene flow.
