Recruitment in variable environments: plasticity and bet hedging in the timing of seed germination in three closely related species
This work supports the hypothesis that plasticity and bet hedging in seed germination timing are favoured in variable and unpredictable environments, and that these strategies can evolve rapidly in association with habitat divergence among closely related species.
