Adaptation to complex environments reveals pervasive trade-offs and genomic targets with large pleiotropic effects

This study shows that adaptation to complex environments involves trade-offs and pleiotropic effects, with mutations affecting multiple biological processes and recurrent gene targets.

Epigenetic switching outcompetes genetic mutations during adaptation to fluctuating environments

This study shows that epigenetic switching provides a fitness advantage over genetic mutations in fluctuating environments, with coexistence possible under constant pressure at high switching rates.
