Fig 1. Geographic distribution of A. germinans and A. schaueriana samples along the Brazilian coast.

Fig 1

A map of the South Atlantic showing the geographic distribution of A. schaueriana (red) and its sympatry region with A. germinans (green and red). Squares and triangles indicate locations where only A. germinans and or A. schaueriana, respectively, presented reproductive branches during sampling. Circles represent locales where both species presented flowers. The star indicates the northeastern extremity of South America. Sampling locations are displayed according to Table 1. Arrows denote the following near-surface ocean currents that influence the sampling range: the South-Equatorial (SEC), North Brazil (NBC) and Brazil currents (BC). Arrow sizes and line widths illustrate the mean current speed [61].
