Genetic structure of the subtidal red alga Delisea pulchra

Received: 22 April 1999 / Accepted: 29 November 1999

Abstract We used random ampli®ed polymorphic DNA (RAPDs) to examine small-scale spatial genetic structure in the red alga Delisea pulchra (Greville) Montagne at two locations near Sydney, Australia. We examined genetic structure among plants at four spatial scales ranging from 2 km apart down to
