摘要
【Abstract】 The genus Ulva Linnaeus 1753 is well known for its global distribution and containing many taxonomically debated species. Their morphological plasticity and cryptic nature overrepresent and underrepresent, respectively, the biodiversity of these species. The difficulty in morphologically identifying Ulva species has led to the accumulation of many species names that are currently considered synonyms. The correct identification of these species is crucial due to their significant role in marine ecosystems and mariculture. In the last 30 years, several checklists and taxonomic contributions have been made from the Italian coast on Ulva species, almost entirely based on morphological studies and only a few papers with molecular data have been published. In this study, samples deposited at the Institute of Marine Sciences (ISMAR) and Phycological Lab (PHL) herbaria have been reviewed by sequencing the chloroplast-encoded elongation factor Tu (tufA) barcode marker. The results obtained provide an update of the DNA barcode inventory of Ulva species for the Lagoon of Venice and the Strait of Messina, two ecosystems characterized by a high algal biogeographical diversity and continuous introduction due to anthropogenic activities. Here, ten Ulva species were identified based on molecular data. Furthermore, we record the presence of Ulva chaugulei on the coast of Tunisia.

【摘要】ulva linnaeus 1753属以其全球分布而闻名,并包含许多分类学辩论的物种。它们的形态可塑性和神秘的性质分别代表性和代表性不足,分别是这些物种的生物多样性。形态学上识别乌尔瓦物种的困难导致了许多当前被认为是同义词的物种名称的积累。这些物种的正确识别是至关重要的,因为它们在海洋生态系统和马养殖中的重要作用。在过去的30年中,意大利海岸对ULVA物种做出了几项清单和分类学贡献,几乎完全基于形态学研究,只有少量具有分子数据的论文。在这项研究中,通过对叶绿体编码的伸长因子TU(TUFA)条形码标记进行测序,对沉积在海洋科学研究所(ISMAR)和植物学实验室(PHL)草药中的样品进行了审查。获得的结果提供了对威尼斯泻湖的DNA条形码清单和Messina海峡的DNA条形码清单,这是两个生态系统,其特征是高藻类生物地理多样性,并且由于人为活动而导致的连续引入。在这里,根据分子数据鉴定了十种ULVA物种。此外,我们在突尼斯海岸记录了Ulva Chaugulei的存在。
