  1. “Floating” samples were collected from drifting in the seawaters, stranded on Porphyra cultivation rafts or stranded on shorelines, whereas “benthic” samples were obtained from intact S. horneri individuals attached to benthic substrata by scuba-diving (see Fig. 1). NCOX: number of individuals sequenced for mtDNA cox3, NMSAT: average sample sizes across seven microsatellites genotyped.
