Environmental variation can often result in different phenotypic optima across the species range, and a consequence of this can be deviations in individual environmental tolerance due to adaptation or acclimation. These adaptive responses may also differ due to gene-by-environment interactions, for example organisms that range a latitudinal or tidal zone gradient. Even when these organisms show similar phenotypic responses to environmental variation, it is still unclear how polygenic these traits are, and the role of genotypic redundancy.
