0. Summary of Bet-hedging

I. Bet-hedging overview

-Definition of Bet-hedging:

* Define bet-hedging both colloquially and scientifically

-Categories of Bet-hedging:

* Introduce the different categories of bet-hedging

-Theories behind Bet-hedging:

* History of theoretical development

* Explanation of the basic theory behind bet-hedging and how it arises in a population (similar to the current ‘The evolution of bet hedging’ section), mention it being tied in to unstable environments

* Mathematical justification behind bet-hedging

II. Examples of Bet-hedging in various taxa

-Prokarya: Bet-hedging during bacterial diauxic shift, bacterial persistence, Rhizobia, P. falciparum, S. pneumoniae

* Eukaryotes

** Animalia:

*** Invertebrates: Diaptomus sanguineus, Argulus coregoni, Bombus terrestris, Linyphia litigiosa (multiple paternity)

*** Vertebrates: Periparus ater

** Plantae: Germination time across various species of desert annuals, Carlina vulgaris

** Fungi: S. cerevisiae ([GAR+], Tsl1), evolution of bet-hedging in Neurospora crassa
