Large genetic divergence underpins cryptic local adaptation across ecological and evolutionary gradients.

Abstract excerpt

Environmentally covarying local adaptation is a form of cryptic local adaptation in which the covariance of the genetic and environmental effects on a phenotype obscures the divergence between locally adapted genotypes. Here, we systematically document the magnitude and drivers of the genetic effect (VG) for two forms of environmentally covarying local adaptation: counter- and cogradient variation. Using a...
