Distinct genotypes are represented by variously colored lines. Genotypes in figure 1A respond similarly to steady change in water availability, while genotypes in 1B exhibit a variable responce. The (hypothetical) species in 1B is, therefore, more suited to adapt to environmental change.

Why are the variable levels and patterns of genetic variation important? Knowledge about how traits vary can reveal the evolutionary dynamics that shape populations.
