Geographic Differentiation of Morphological Characteristics in the Brown Seaweed <i>Sargassum thunbergii</i> along the Korean Coast: A Response to Local Environmental Conditions

Geographic Differentiation of Morphological Characteristics in the Brown Seaweed <i>Sargassum thunbergii</i> along the Korean Coast: A Response to Local Environmental Conditions

Intraspecific variation in morphology is widespread among seaweed species in different habitats. We examined the morphological variation in <i>Sargassum thunbergii</i> involving diverse environmental factors. We quantified 16 morphological characteristics on 15 rocky intertidal shores in...
