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 |
Species of Dictyota with dentate margins exhibit notable diversity and a broad distribution across the Greater Caribbean. Oceanic islands such as Saint Kitts (Lesser Antilles) and the Archipelago of San Andr & eacute;s (Colombia) play a key role in expanding our understanding of these taxa. In this study, we report Dictyota canariensis as a new record for both countries and confirm the presence of Dictyota ciliolata and Dictyota jamaicensis using molecular and morphological evidence. Phylogenetic analyses based on psbA and cox1 sequences support the identity of these species, and the cox1 haplotype network reveals some geographic structure. Overall, our findings underscore the value of molecular data in addressing taxonomic complexity and highlight the importance of oceanic islands in shaping the regional diversity of dentate Dictyota species in the Caribbean basin. |
