Figure 6.

The simultaneous evolution of mean plasticity $\overline{b}$ (Panel A) and mean maternal effects $\overline{m}$ (Panel B) for three levels of the developmental time‐lag τ, when selection is weak (${\omega }_z^2=40$). Panel C: correlation between an individual's developmental environment ${\varepsilon }_{\{t-\tau \}}$ and the selective optimum experienced by that same individual. Panel D: correlation between a maternal phenotype and the selective optimum experienced by her offspring. Parameters: $A=0,B=2,{\sigma }_{\xi }^2=0,{\omega }_m^2={\omega }_b^2=100$, $G_{aa}=0.1,G_{bb}=G_{mm}=0.045$.
