Molecular data for the survey provide the most extensive assessment of Hawaiian red algal diversity and, in combination with the morphological/anatomical and distributional data collected as part of the project, provide a solid baseline data set for future studies of the flora.

It is clear that a large-scale dedicated effort will be needed to control this invasive species on Waikiki's reefs, which has spread from the initial sites of introduction and is now competing with native marine flora and fauna.
A comparative analysis of COI, LSU and UPA marker data for the Hawaiian florideophyte Rhodophyta: Implications for DNA barcoding of red algae

A total of 290 florideophyte samples from the Hawaiian Rhodophyta Biodiver- sity Survey, spanning 17 orders of red algae, were sequenced for the mitochondrial COI DNA barcode, partial nuclear LSU rRNA gene, and plastid UPA rRNA marker, indicating that some phylogenetic utility can be gained from barcode-like sequences that are obtained for biodiversity surveys.

The development of a metabarcoding framework for the elongation factor EF-Ttu (tufA) was tested on four Illumina-sequenced marine CaCO3 microfloras for the characterization of their endolithic phototrophs, especially the abundant bioeroding Ostreobium spp.

Abstract In the northwestern Gulf of Mexico, beds of rhodoliths and unconsolidated rubble at 55–70 m depth are associated with unique offshore deep bank habitats known as salt domes or diapirs. Prior…
The coralline genera Sporolithon and Heydrichia (Sporolithales, Rhodophyta) clarified by sequencing type material of their generitypes and other species
