Maternal-Offspring Interactions: Reciprocally Coevolving Social Environments.

Abstract excerpt

Maternal-zygotic co-evolution is one of the most common examples of indirect genetic effects. I investigate how maternal-zygotic gene interactions affect rates of evolution and adaptation. Using comparably parameterized population genetic models, I compare evolution to an abiotic environment with genotype-by-environment interaction (G × E) to evolution to a maternal environment with offspring genotype-by-maternal...
