“…Transgenerational effects have been described both in response to warming (e.g., Munday, ; Salinas & Munch, ; Shama et al., ) and to pesticide exposure (e.g., Brausch & Salice, ; Kim, Yu, Jeong, & Kim, ) and raise the concern whether we can reliably predict the biological impact of these stressors based on single‐generation experiments (Kim et al., ; Yu, Zhang, & Yin, ). Indeed, transgenerational effects can make offspring both more (e.g., Pölkki, Kangassalo, & Rantala, ; Schultz et al., ) or less (e.g., Brausch & Salice, ; Kim et al., ; Reátegui‐Zirena et al., ) vulnerable to stressors compared to the parental generation. The emerging view based on recent empirical studies on warming is that transgenerational plasticity may buffer the negative effects of warming on ectotherms (Munday, ; Shama et al., ), yet this may be biased because of methodological weaknesses in the design of the studies (Kielland, Bech, & Einum, ).…”
