What Kind of Maternal Effects Can Be Selected For in Fluctuating Environments?

The American naturalist - 1 Jun 2017

Proulx Stephen R, Teotónio Henrique

Abstract excerpt

Just as phenotypic plasticity can evolve when developing individuals get informational cues about their future adult environment, deterministic maternal effects, where offspring trait values depend on the maternal environment, can evolve when mothers gain reliable information about the environments their offspring will face. Randomizing maternal effects (a type of diversifying bet hedging), where offspring trait...
