The evolution of bet hedging in response to local ecological conditions.

The American naturalist - 1 Jul 2014

Rajon Etienne, Desouhant Emmanuel, Chevalier Mathieu, Débias François, Menu Frédéric

Abstract excerpt

Genotypes that hedge their bets can be favored by selection in an unpredictably varying environment. Bet hedging can be achieved by systematically expressing several phenotypes, such as one that readily attempts to reproduce and one that procrastinates in a dormant stage. But how much of each phenotype should a genotype express? Theory predicts that evolving bet-hedging strategies depend on local environmental...
