Influence of nutrients on ploidy‐specific performance in an invasive, haplodiplontic red macroalga

Worldwide, macroalgae have invaded near‐shore marine ecosystems. However, their haplodiplontic life cycles have complicated efforts to predict patterns of growth and spread, particularly since most theoretical predictions are derived from diplontic taxa (i.e., animals). To complete one revolution of the life cycle, two separate ploidy stages, often including separate haploid sexes, must pass through development and reproduction. In the case of...
