The sexual phenotypes of 1152 gametophytes from four populations of Culcita macrocarpa and Woodwardia radicans were monitored over a 1-year period. Gametophytes were maintained under three experimental conditions: (1) isolated, (2) pairs from the same sporophyte, or (3) pairs from different sporophytes. The frequencies of the sexual phenotypes did not vary significantly among these three conditions, and although there were some quantitative differences between populations, the sexual-phenotype sequences observed were species-specific. Gametophytes of C macrocarpa were first male and then hermaphrodite: this sequence, together with the absence of antheridiogens, favours intragametophytic selfing. Natural populations of C macrocarpa are presumably androdioecious. Gametophytes of W. radicans were first female and then hermaphrodite: this sequence and antheridiogen activity favour intergametophytic and even xenogamous mating. Despite these laboratory findings, populations of W. radicans are probably trioecious (because of the effects of antheridiogen). Few sporophytes of W. radicans were obtained in the present study, and none of C macrocarpa: this is attributable to limiting illumination or substrate. (C) 2005 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
