| Abstract | Intergenerational plasticity -- when environments experienced by one generation affect traits expressed by later generations -- is increasingly recognized for its ability to impact species’ responses to environmental stress. Predators are one of the most ubiquitous sources of stress in nature, and the effects of predation risk on prey can scale up to have broader impacts on communities and ecosystems. Intergenerational plasticity can also alter prey responses to predators in subtle but important |
