Fig. D1. Schematic representation of expected life-history reaction norms in the absence (Fig. 2a) and presence of transgenerational transfer of time information (Fig. 2b). Waves represent theoretical endogenous circannual rhythms and orange triangles the timing of metamorphosis. In the absence of TGP, a change in breeding time results in a proportional change in the timing of metamorphosis (displacing time, Fig. 2a), but with TGP (orange lightning, Fig. 2b), a change in breeding time is translated into an increase (L) or decrease (E) in offspring growth and development rate to reach the optimal metamorphosis time (rate changes, Fig. 2b). E = early reproduction (green circle); A = average reproduction time (blue circle); L = late reproduction (red circle).
