Aims Dispersal through space or time via dormancy is one of the primary processes whereby organisms can influence the environment they experience.In plants,strong evolutionary correlations are expected between the two...

Background:The allocation of resources between offspring size and number is a central question of life-history theory.Although several studies have tested the existence of this trade-off,few studies have investigated ...
Organisms often live in unpredictable environments and have to adopt life history strategies that optimize their fitness under these conditions.According to bet-hedging theory,individuals can reduce variation in fitne...

Environmental unpredictability can influence strategies of maternal investment among eggs within a clutch. Models predict that breeding females should adopt a diversified bet-hedging strategy in unpredictable environm...
Fluctuating environments pose tremendous challenges to bacterial populations. It is observed in numerous bacterial species that individual cells can stochastically switch among multiple phenotypes for the population t...
