Phylogeographic signal provided by the newly developed 23S plastid rRNA marker (universal plastid amplicon, UPA) and the cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene marker (COI) in the freshwater red alga Batrachospermum helminthosum, throughout its range in North America, was investigated. These markers were compared in individuals from a previous study using the cytochrome oxidase 2-3 spacer region (cox2-3), which has yielded the most useful data to date with 13 haplotypes among geographic locations. Five haplotypes were resolved for the UPA, differing by only one to two base pairs (bp), and we conclude that this marker may be more appropriate for studying interspecific variation. In contrast, the COI gene revealed 16 haplotypes, differing from one to 44 base pairs or up to 6.6% sequence variation. The intraspecific variation of COI in this taxon is much greater than that reported thus far for marine red algae (generally < 5 bp). The intraspecific variation within B. helminthosum is in accord with levels shown in Batrachospermum macrosporum (48 bp within distant locations in Brazil). The COI gene is comparable to the cox2-3 spacer for phylogeographic studies as the haplotype networks were similar and showed the same geographic patterns. To our knowledge, this is the first comparison of these three regions for phylogeographic research in the red algae.
