In a recently published paper in the journal Ecology, Filipe Alberto, Researcher from Centre of Marine Sciences, has discovered that the giant kelp that forms marine forests off the California coast require habitat continuity to spread their genes along the coast.

In a recently published paper in the journal Ecology, Filipe Alberto, Researcher from Centre of Marine Sciences (CCMAR), has discovered that the giant kelp that forms marine forests off the California coast require habitat continuity to spread their genes along the coast in a stepwise fashion, increasing genetic differentiation with migration distance and with increasing habitat fragmentation.
The Ecological Society of America (ESA) recorded a podcast about this discovery.
