Population histories of variable reproductive success and low winter precipitation correlate with risk‐averse seed germination in a mediterranean‐climate winter annual
Geographic variation in seed germination in this species suggests local adaptation to demographic risk and rainfall. High base water potential and dormancy may concentrate germination in years likely to allow reproduction, while spreading risk among years.
