Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Dictyota naevosa (Suhr) Montagne and D. radicans Harvey possess characters that do not conform to the generic description of Dictyota. The generic boundaries in the tribe Dictyoteae are thus called into question. Dictyota naevosa differs from other Dictyota species by having more than one layer of cortical cells in the lower part of the thallus. The presence of a multilayered cortex is the only character distinguishing Pachydictyon from Dictyota. Dictyota radicans is characterised by the presence of terete surface proliferations, a feature used to distinguish Glossophora from Dictyota. Both D. naevosa and D. radicans have clear sister species that are currently placed in the genus Dilophus. The segregation of Dilophus from Dictyota, as still advocated by some authors, therefore becomes untenable. The morphological evidence leads us to question the generic status of Pachydictyon, Glossophora and Glossophorella, since the characters used to delineate these genera are commonly found in some species of Dictyota. |
