Transgenerational Plasticity in the Context of Predator-Prey Interactions
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Almost all animal species are engaged in predator-prey interactions. These interactions, variable in time and space, favor the emergence and evolution of phenotypic plasticity, which allows prey to fine-tune their phenotype to the current risk of ...

Transgenerational Plasticity and Bet-Hedging: A Framework for Reaction Norm Evolution [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Decision-making under uncertain conditions favors bet-hedging (avoidance of fitness variance), whereas predictable environments favor phenotypic plasticity.

Exploring links between climatic predictability and the evolution of within- and transgenerational plasticity. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 In variable environments, phenotypic plasticity can increase fitness by providing tight environment‐phenotype matching. However, adaptive plasticity is expected to evolve only when the future selective environment can be predicted based on the prevailing

Sensitive windows for within- and trans-generational plasticity of anti-predator defences
Peer Community Journal, 2023 Transgenerational plasticity could be an important mechanism for adaptation to variable environments in addition to within-generational plasticity. But its potential for adaptation may be restricted to specific developmental windows that are highly ...

Adaptive transgenerational plasticity in the perennial Plantago lanceolata [PDF]
, 2014 Phenotypes of plants, and thus their ecology and evolution, can be affected by the environmental conditions experienced by their parents, a phenomenon called parental effects or transgenerational plasticity. However, whether such effects are just passive

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Environmental parental effects, also known as transgenerational plasticity, are widespread in plants and animals. Less well known is whether those effects contribute to maternal fitness in the same manner in different populations.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Climate forecasts show that in many regions the temporal distribution of precipitation events will become less predictable. Root traits may play key roles in dealing with changes in precipitation predictability, but their functional plastic responses ...

, 2023 International audienceAbstract Inducible defences in response to predation risk are a well-known example of adaptive phenotypic plasticity. While inducible defences have been mainly studied within a generation (within-generational plasticity), there is ...
