  abstract = {{D}uring the {A}timo {V}atae research cruise of 2010, the seaweed flora of the southern coast of {M}adagascar was extensively sampled. {H}ere we report on the species diversity and biogeographic affinities of the brown algal order {D}ictyotales, which was assessed using {DNA}-barcoding makers. {M}olecular identification resulted in 23 {MOTU}'s belonging to 9 genera. {F}rom a biogeographic perspective {M}adagascar is considered to be part of the large tropical {W}estern {I}ndo-{P}acific realm. {H}owever, only 3 out of 23 species confirmed this affinity. {I}n contrast, species- and genus-level links to the more temperate coast of {K}wa{Z}ulu-{N}atal were as prominent (4 species) and 6 species represent endemic species. {T}he remaining species were either widely distributed in tropical regions or their affinities were unclear. {I}n conclusion, the {D}ictyotales data do not suggest the flora of southern {M}adagascar is unequivocally a part of the tropical {W}estern {I}ndo-{P}acific realm, but rather a region of overlap, where more temperate species thrive in conjunction with some {I}ndo {W}est {P}acific ({IWP}) elements.},
