Our seagrass collection mainly comes from the Southern coastline of Thailand, cover 12 out of 13 species found in Thai waters, there was no H. minor in our collection. Recently, we reported a new record of H. major in Thai waters, and identify key characters to distinguish those overlapping morphological characteristic between H. ovalis and H. major (Tuntiprapas et al., 2015). We have extensive collections of H. ovalis, with a total of 266 samples covered not only in Thai waters but also Johor, Malaysia and Hong Kong, we are also interested in population genetic and ecological adaptations of this very common and high plasticity of this species.Taxonomic Coverages
