  "summary": "Evolution in fluctuating environments depends critically on epistatic interactions between mutations and the pleiotropic effects these mutations have on fitness across multiple conditions. However, while these effects of epistasis and pleiotropy have been extensively studied individually, the interactions between them are less well understood. In this study, we analyze how genetic background…",
