Developmental plasticity and the evolution of parental effects.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Aug 2008

Uller Tobias

Abstract excerpt

One of the outstanding challenges for evolutionary biologists is to understand how developmental plasticity can influence the evolutionary process. Developmental plasticity frequently involves parental effects, which might enable adaptive and context-dependent transgenerational transmission of phenotypic strategies. However, parent-offspring conflict will frequently result in parental effects that are suboptimal...
