In the third part of my thesis, I deployed state-of-the-art quantitative genetic modelling approaches to unravel patterns of selection, genetic variation, and evolutionary response to selection in a reaction-norm context using long-term, pedigreed datasets of wild populations. Some methods to achieve this were explored in the preceding Intermezzo (Chapter 6 & nbsp;and & nbsp;7). In & nbsp;Chapter 8, & nbsp;I investigated whether maternal effects as a form of transgenerational plasticity could affect the rate of adaptation in great tits. Using experimental and long-term data, I was able to show that the clutch size of a great tit is partly dependent on her body weight at fledgling and that it is negatively associated with the clutch size of her own mother. Such a negative maternal effect could constrain adaptation to a novel environment with selection for a larger of smaller clutch. We showed by simulation, however, that this negative maternal effect would likely have little impact on the rate of adaptation.
