Abstract excerpt
Cryptic genetic variation-heritable genetic variation that is only expressed under stressful or novel environments-can potentially fuel the evolution of novel traits. While previous work has demonstrated that novel environments can expose cryptic genetic variation, whether and how multiple environments interact to shape such variation in natural populations is poorly understood. To determine how multiple...
