Many organisms escape from lethal climatological conditions by entering a resistant resting stage called diapause, which needs to be optimally timed with seasonal change. As climate change exerts selection pressure on phenology, the evolution of mean diapause timing, but also of phenotypic plasticity and bet-hedging strategies is expected. The potential of the latter strategy as a means of coping with environmental unpredictability has received little attention in the climate change literature.

昆虫的滞育和对冲策略：反应规范形状的元分析

许多生物通过进入称为滞育的抗性静止阶段来逃避致命的气候条件，滞育需要根据季节变化进行最佳时间安排。由于气候变化对物候施加选择压力，预计平均滞育时间以及表型可塑性和对冲策略的演变。后一种策略作为应对环境不可预测性的一种手段的潜力在气候变化文献中很少受到关注。
