Interactions between thermal and nutritional stress reveal cryptic adaptive potential

Predicting whether populations can adapt fast enough to persist under global change requires understanding how adaptive potential changes with the environment. Theory predicts that cryptic genetic variation hidden under benign conditions may be released under stress, but empirical tests are rare and typically manipulate single stressors in isolation, which is not realistic under global change.…
