Generalists versus specialists in fluctuating environments: a bet-hedging perspective
2019-03-18
Abstract excerpt
Bet-hedging evolves in fluctuating environments because long-term genotype success is determined by geometric mean fitness across generations. However, specialist versus generalist strategies are usually considered in terms of arithmetic mean fitness benefits to individuals, as in habitat or foraging preferences. We model how environmental variability affects phenotypic variation within and among individuals to ma...
