The comment by Sánchez-Tójar et al. (2020, Ecol Lett) questioned the methodology, transparency and conclusion of our study (Ecol Lett, 22, 2019, 1976). The comment has overlooked important evolutionary assumptions in their reanalysis, and the issues raised were in fact dealt with through the peer-review process. Far from being biased, the key conclusion of our meta-analysis still stands; transgenerational effects are largely adaptive.
桑切斯-托哈尔等人（2020 年，Ecol Lett）的评论质疑了我们研究的方法、透明度和结论（Ecol Lett，22，2019，1976）。该评论忽略了他们重新分析中重要的进化假设，而且实际上通过同行评审过程处理了提出的问题。我们的荟萃分析的关键结论远非有偏见，仍然成立；跨代效应在很大程度上是适应性的。
