Additive genetic variance for traits least related to fitness increases with environmental stress in the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria
Abstract Under environmental stress, previously hidden additive genetic variation can be unmasked and exposed to selection. The amount of hidden variation is expected to be higher for life history traits, which strongly correlate to individual fitness, than for morphological traits, in which fitness...
