Declaration of interests
: We note in the “Discussion” section that Deng et al. previously reported that different combinations of temperature and irradiance have a significant effect on the growth and reproduction of C. valida (Deng, 2010; Deng et al., 2011b, 2012). And, some of the data from these three articles are used in this paper just to analyze the effects of different temperatures and irradiance on the generation alternation of differentiated individuals. The sources are noted in the text as a way to show that we do not want to create a conflict of interest in this area.
