Coping with environmental uncertainty: dynamic bet hedging as a maternal effect.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 27 Apr 2009

Crean Angela J, Marshall Dustin J

Abstract excerpt

Mothers in a range of taxa manipulate the phenotype of their offspring in response to environmental change in order to maximize their own fitness. Most studies have focused on changes in the mean phenotype of offspring. Focusing on mean offspring phenotypes is appropriate for species in which mothers are likely to successfully predict the environment their offspring will experience, but what happens when the...
