“…However, growth also continues after maturation in many short‐lived (e.g. annual) organisms that produce dormant offspring, for example annual plants and cladocerans (Ejsmond, Kozłowski, & Ejsmond, ). The production of dormant offspring spreads the risk for temporal environmental uncertainty in these species, so it seems unlikely that simultaneous allocation to growth and reproduction would have evolved in relation to temporal environmental variation.…”
