Environmental and genetic sources of diversification in the timing of seed germination: implications for the evolution of bet hedging.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2006

Simons Andrew M, Johnston Mark O

Abstract excerpt

Environmental variation that is not predictably related to cues is expected to drive the evolution of bet-hedging strategies. The high variance observed in the timing of seed germination has led to it being the most cited diversification strategy in the theoretical bet-hedging literature. Despite this theoretical focus, virtually nothing is known about the mechanisms responsible for the generation of...
