...Our previous work demonstrated that L. microphyllum possesses a highly plastic reproductive capability, being able to reproduce by a mixed-mating strategy, which is relatively uncommon among homosporous ferns (Klekowski, 1982; Lott et al., 2003)....

...L. microphyllum possesses all of these traits except vegetative reproduction (Lott et al., 2003)....

...Unlike kudzu, whose spread has been inhibited by a lack of viable seed (Mitich, 2000), L. microphyllum has high spore viability and a highly plastic reproductive strategy that allows it to become established far from source populations (Lott et al., 2003)....

...The high selfing rates and the ability to also mate by intergametophytic crossing enhance the ability of this species both to invade distant habitats and to adapt to local conditions (Lott et al., 2003)....

...The fern is able to reproduce by all three mating systems possible in homosporous ferns: intra- and intergametophytic selfing and outcrossing (Lott et al. , 2003)....

...…after Baker’s (1955) seminal paper was published, it is now clear that his ideas apply to haplodiplontic life cycles, such as those found in ferns (Lott et al. 2003; Flinn 2006; de Groot et al. 2012), mosses (Pati~no et al. 2013; Laenen et al. 2016) and, now, explicitly in seaweeds (but see…...

...It has therefore long been suggested that polyploids should be more tolerant of GS than diploids (Klekowski & Baker, 1966; Klekowski, 1973; Chapman et al., 1979; Holsinger, 1987; Haufler, 1989; Soltis & Soltis, 1989; Masuyama & Watano, 1990)....

...Previous studies have shown that L. microphyllum is extremely plastic in its ability to respond to myriad environmental conditions, including plasticity in reproduction, physiology, biomass allocation, and morphology (see: Lott et al. 2003; Gandiaga et al. 2009; Volin et al. 2004, 2010)....
