How climate change affects the seasonal ecology of insect parasitoids (2020, background): “Transgenerational plasticity, including maternal effects, occurs when environmental cues experienced by the previous generation(s) modify phenotypic reaction norms of the following generation (Burgess & Marshall, 2014; Sgrò et al., 2016).”
Adaptive trans‐generational phenotypic plasticity and the lack of an experimental control in reciprocal match/mismatch experiments (2016, unknown): “Thus, the notion that the current experimental evidence does not support a widespread occurrence of anticipatory parental effects in nature (Uller, Nakagawa & English 2013) may eventually be somewhat misleading (see also Burgess & Marshall 2014).”
Transgenerational plasticity and environmental stress: do paternal effects act as a conduit or a buffer? (2016, background): “Likewise, while studies are beginning to focus more on the role of predictability in the parental environment on offspring phenotype (Burgess & Marshall 2011, 2014; Marshall & Burgess 2015; Shama 2015), more remains to be investigated on the nature and strength of environmental predictability.”
