Bet-hedging as an evolutionary game: the trade-off between egg size and number

In a recent paper, [Olofsson et al . (2009)][1] explore the evolution of egg mass in a temporally variable environment using an individual-based simulation model. The model includes realistic assumptions such as density-dependent population growth and a fluctuating minimum size for survival. Their
