Abstract
DNA-DNA hybridizations between single-copy nuclear DNA fromLaminaria digitata and total DNA fromL. saccharina, L. Hyperborea, L. rodriguezii, L. ochroleuca andChorda filum, respectively, show that these species ofLaminaria are genotypically closely related.Chorda filum is only distantly related withL. digitata. Based on the thermal elution patterns of the DNA hybrids, as quantified by ΔTm(e) values, it is hypothesized that all five species ofLaminaria evolved at about the same time from their most recent common ancestor some 15–19 Ma ago. This phylogenetic hypothesis is discussed in relation to the history of modern laminarialean distribution patterns.
