ALL ABOUT FITNESS. “Maternal effects are like phenotypic plasticity in that they can change fitness in the absence of genetic change, and can thereby alter the frequencies of phenotypes. Moreover, reaction norms (patterns of plasticity) and maternal effects may both evolve substantially across just a few generations, thus changing the response of organisms to environmental heterogeneity.”
