Pervasive, yet idiosyncratic, epistatic pleiotropy during adaptation in a behaviourally complex microbe.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding how multiple mutations interact to jointly impact multiple ecologically important traits is critical for creating a robust picture of organismal fitness and the process of adaptation. However, this is complicated by both environmental heterogeneity and the complexity of genotype-to-phenotype relationships generated by pleiotropy and epistasis. Moreover, little is known about how pleiotropic and...
