Unifying Within- and Between-Generation Bet-Hedging Theories: An Ode to J. H. Gillespie.

The American naturalist - 1 Dec 2015

Schreiber Sebastian J

Abstract excerpt

In the 1970s, John Gillespie introduced two principles in which evolution selects for genotypes with lower variation in offspring numbers. First, if the variation in offspring number primarily occurs within generations, the strength of this selective force is inversely proportional to population size. Second, if this variation primarily occurs between generations, the strength of this selective force is...
