Article Synopsis
- Saccharina japonica, a vital kelp species in the Northwestern Pacific, shows complex population genetics and phylogeographic patterns not well understood previously.
- Analysis of 612 mitochondrial sequences identified four genetic clusters, with Hokkaido populations showing the highest diversity; distinct genealogies suggested limited gene flow between certain groups.
- Findings imply Hokkaido may be a key origin point for S. japonica and highlight the impact of environmental factors and human activity on its genetic structure and expansion following the last glacial period.
