- W2087839932 abstract "Reproduction is closely tied to environmental conditions and the availability of resources, and thus typically varies with season. Consequently, perennial organisms that reproduce continuously are generally restricted to tropical regions with relatively aseasonal climates. The temperate marine alga Macrocystis pyrifera is a rare exception in this regard, as most individuals reproduce throughout the year in a seasonally variable habitat. Here we measure reproductive responses of the giant kelp Macrocystis during a period in which resources and environmental conditions fluctuated greatly and contrast these responses with those of the palm kelp, Pterygophora californica, a sympatric species that exhibits strictly seasonal reproduction. The quantity and quality of spore production tracked resource availability within and among years for Macrocystis, but not for Pterygophora. Reproductive allocation and spore standing stock in Macrocystis were negatively correlated with seawater temperature and positively correlated with the nitrogen content of adult plants. Macrocystis generally displayed two seasonally distinct peaks in spore production per year (winter and spring). The only disruption of this pattern coincided with a warmwater El Nino event. Although seawater temperature and the nitrogen content of adults were inversely related in Pterygophora, neither variable was significantly correlated with the quantity or quality of spore production in this species. Unlike Macrocystis, Pterygophora exhibited a well—defined reproductive season in which plants displayed a single broad peak in spore production that varied little in timing and magnitude among years, even during El Nino conditions. Spore C/N ratios remained relatively constant over time in both species, despite large seasonal fluctuations in C/N ratios of vegetative tissue of adults plants. Nonetheless, spore C/N ratios were positively correlated with seawater temperature in Macrocystis, but not in Pterygophora. Spore viability (swimming and germination) varied considerably, and often unpredictably, over time for both species. Our results support the general idea that environmental conditions and resources exert a much greater influence on the quantity and quality of reproduction in species that reproduce continuously than on the majority of species that are strictly seasonal in onset of reproduction. The differential responses of Macrocystis and Pterygophora may reflect their different morphologies and life—spans. Macrocystis is relatively short lived and may hedge its bets by reproducing continuously rather than risk delaying reproduction. Conversely, since Pterygophora lives much longer, plants can afford to release spores only during times when the chances for reproductive success are predictably greatest because these plants are likely to reproduce again in subsequent years." @default.
