Transgenerational plasticity and climate change experiments: Where do we go from here?
Phenotypic plasticity, both within and across generations, is an important mechanism that
organisms use to cope with rapid climate change. While an increasing number of studies …

Dormancy and dispersal as mediators of zooplankton population and community dynamics along a hydrological disturbance gradient in inland temporary pools
At some stage in their life cycle, most zooplankton in temporary waters produce dormant
eggs that assemble in a persistent egg bank to cope with unfavourable conditions. As part of …

Within‐and among‐year germination in Sonoran Desert winter annuals: Bet hedging and predictive germination in a variable environment
In variable environments, organisms must have strategies to ensure fitness as conditions
change. For plants, germination can time emergence with favourable conditions for later …

Optimal germination timing in unpredictable environments: the importance of dormancy for both among‐and within‐season variation
For organisms living in unpredictable environments, timing important life‐history events is
challenging. One way to deal with uncertainty is to spread the emergence of offspring across …

Clinal population divergence in an adaptive parental environmental effect that adjusts seed banking
C Lampei, J Metz, K Tielbörger - New Phytologist, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Bet‐hedging via between‐year seed dormancy is a costly strategy for plants in
unpredictable environments. Theoretically, fitness costs can be reduced through a parental …
