Phylogeny and ecology of the green seaweed Ulva

• Algae of the genus Ulva are of central importance in both applied and basic research, as they present a fascinating mix of biological, ecological, evolutionary, physiological, and genetic research priorities (Blomme et al. 2023; De Clerk et al. 2018; Wichard et al. 2015). Due to their crucial role in coastal ecosystems and their burgeoning commercial use for aquaculture, Ulva spp. have become the focus of many (applied) scientific studies (Bolton et al. 2016; Simon et al. 2022; Steinhagen et al. 2021; Wichard 2023). The cultivation of seaweed for food, feed and useful chemicals has the potential to increase significantly and sustainably. It could provide alternative protein sources, alleviate food shortages and meet increasing demand by utilizing the largely untapped aquatic environment (Barbier et al. 2020; Buck and Shpigel 2023). In any case, the reliable identification of the morphologically variable species and ecotypes of Ulva remains of particular interest and a prerequisite for many applications (Steinhagen et al. 2019).
