MATLAB simulation routine to modify the quantitative genetic reaction norm approach of Lande (2009) to include maternal effects and stochastic flipping environment. - See more at: http://figshare.com/preview/_preview/894436#sthash.2emuq1Ue.dpuf

The code modifies the reaction norm approach of Lande (2009) to include maternal effects (Hoyle & Ezard 2012) and then explores different models of environmental change that are correlated across generations.

This is the script for the sinusoidal environment.

 

The model is explained fully in Ezard et al. (2014). The fitness costs of adaptation via phenotypic plasticity and maternal effects. Func. Ecol. doi: 10.1111/1365-2435.12207. The core was published as Hoyle, R.B. & Ezard, T.H.G. (2012). The benefits of maternal effects in novel and in stable environments. J. Roy. Soc. Interface9, 2403-2413. doi:10.1098/rsif.2012.0183. See links below.
