Seaweed Phylogeography. Adaptation and Evolution of Seaweeds under Environmental Change. 2016. 96 (24 col.) figs. XIV, 395 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.

The book provides an overview of research on the remarkable diversity, adaptive genetic differentiation, and evolutionary complexity of intertidal macroalgae species. Through incorporating molecular data, ecological niche and model-based phylogeographicinference, this book presents the latest findings and hypotheses on the spatial distribution and evolution of seaweeds in the contextof historical climate change (e.g. the Quaternary ice ages),contemporary global warming, and increased anthropogenicinfluences. The chapters in this book highlight past and current research on seaweed phylogeography and predict the future trends and directions. This book frames a number of research cases to review how biogeographic processes and interactive eco-genetic dynamics shaped the demographic histories of seaweeds, which furthermore enhances our understanding ofspeciation and diversification in the sea.
