When to rely on maternal effects and when on phenotypic plasticity?

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2015

Kuijper Bram, Hoyle Rebecca B

Abstract excerpt

Existing insight suggests that maternal effects have a substantial impact on evolution, yet these predictions assume that maternal effects themselves are evolutionarily constant. Hence, it is poorly understood how natural selection shapes maternal effects in different ecological circumstances. To overcome this, the current study derives an evolutionary model of maternal effects in a quantitative genetics context....
