Spatio-temporal variability of strandings of the southern bull kelp Durvillaea antarctica (Fucales, Phaeophyceae) on beaches on the coast of Chile-linking with local storms. -- Chapter 3. No sex-related dispersal limitation in a dioecious, oceanic long-distance traveller: the bull lelp Durvillaea antarctica. -- Chapter 4. Epibiont communities on stranded kelp rafts of Durvillaea antarctica (Fucales, phaeophyceae) -do positive interactions facilitate range extensions?. -- 5. Phylogeography of two intertidal seaweeds, Gelidium lingulatum and G. rex (Rhodophyta: Gelidiales), along the South East Pacific-patterns explained by rafting dispersal?. -- II.
