Environmental effects on genetic variance are likely to constrain adaptation in novel environments

Lay Summary: The potential for populations to adapt rapidly to new environments will depend on the amount of genetic variation in multiple traits that make up a multidimensional phenotype. If traits are tightly correlated at the genetic level, then selection will change all traits together and adapt...
