COMPENSATORY LARVAL RESPONSES SHIFT TRADE‐OFFS ASSOCIATED WITH PREDATOR‐INDUCED HATCHING PLASTICITY

Many species with complex life histories can respond to risk by adaptively altering the timing of key life history switch points, including hatching. It is generally thought that such hatching plasticity involves a trade‐off between embryonic and hatchling predation risk, e.g., hatching early to escape egg predation comes at the cost of increased vulnerability to hatchling predators. However, most empirical work has focused on simply detecting …
