Differential susceptibility to the environment: An evolutionary–neurodevelopmental theory (2011, background): “From a bet-hedging perspective (Donaldson-Matasci, Lachmann, & Bergstrom, 2008; Einum & Fleming, 2004; Ellis et al., 2009; Philippi & Seger, 1989), differential susceptibility to environmental influence could potentially be maintained by an evolutionary history of exposure to environments that…”
Adaptive parental effects: the importance of estimating environmental predictability and offspring fitness appropriately (2014, background): “…cannot predict their offspring’s environment, they may instead produce a range of offspring phenotypes in order to decrease the variance in fitness returns (‘bet-hedging parental effects’ sensu Marshall and Uller 2007, see also Einum and Fleming 2004, Marshall et al. 2008, Fischer et al. 2010).”
When is a maternal effect adaptive (2007, background): “Nevertheless, we agree with Einum and Fleming (2004) that conservative bet-hedging is likely in some instances and therefore distinguishing between AME’s and a conservative bet-hedging strategy may be difficult as both may increase offspring fitness.”
Phenotypic diversity as an adaptation to environmental uncertainty (2008, background): “Finally, in a few systems it is argued that a single, low-risk life history strategy is a better adaptation to fluctuating environments than phenotypic diversity would be (Boyce and Perrins, 1987; Einum and Fleming, 2004; Hassall et al., 2006; Simons and Johnston, 2003).”
