Bet-hedging across generations can affect the evolution of variance-sensitive strategies within generations

Abstract excerpt

In order to understand how organisms cope with ongoing changes in environmental variability it is important to consider all types of adaptations to environmental uncertainty on different time-scales. Conservative bet-hedging represents a long-term genotype-level strategy that maximizes lineage geometric mean fitness in stochastic environments by decreasing individual fitness variance, despite also lowering arithme...
