Over the last decade, our knowledge of the phylogenetic and taxonomic diversity of coralline algae has greatly progressed thanks to the use of DNA sequence data. Despite this, in some geographic regions the knowledge of coralline diversity is still incomplete, because it is entirely based on traditional morpho-anatomical grounds; Antarctica can...

One of the main requirements of any sound biological monitoring is the availability of long term and, possibly, temporal data with a high resolution. This is often difficult to be achieved, especially in Antarctica, due to a variety of logistic constraints, which make continuous sampling and monitoring activities generally unfeasible. Here we...
