Uncovering of cryptic mutations. (a) Boxplot of variance in projected phenotype in ancestral and novel environments. (b) Boxplot of total cross-covariance (square of Frobenius norm) between phenotype and genome. (c) Boxplot of the percentage contribution of the first singular value of the cross-covariance matrix to total cross-covariance between phenotype and genome. (d) Boxplot of alignment between phenotype variation and environmental change, where the alignment is the correlation between the first phenotype singular vector of the Pheno-Geno cross-covariance matrix and the direction of environmental change. Variation due to mutations and environmental noise is qualitatively similar (c.f. Fig. 4).
