Revision of the green algal genus Caulerpa (Ulvophyceae) of the Philippines
Project summary:
The genus Caulerpa in the Philippines is putatively rich. However, most of these records appears to be erroneous since the taxonomy of the genus has been studied scarcely, if not poorly in the country. The present study aims to revise the genus Caulerpa in the Philippines using both morphological and molecular approaches which are reliable in species delimitation as the accumulation of information on the biochemistry, ecology and potential economic importance of this genus in the country is rapidly increasing, thus, it is essential for these species to be attached to correct names.
