Editing Evolvability (section)

=== With recombination ===
Temporary robustness, or [[canalisation (genetics) |canalisation]], may lead to the accumulation of significant quantities of cryptic genetic variation. In a new environment or genetic background, this variation may be [[evolutionary capacitance |revealed]] and sometimes be adaptive.<ref name="Masel 2010" /><ref name="Whitacre and Bender">{{cite journal | vauthors = Whitacre J, Bender A | title = Degeneracy: a design principle for achieving robustness and evolvability | journal = Journal of Theoretical Biology | volume = 263 | issue = 1 | pages = 143–53 | date = March 2010 | pmid = 19925810 | doi = 10.1016/j.jtbi.2009.11.008 | arxiv = 0907.0510 | bibcode = 2010JThBi.263..143W | s2cid = 11511132 }}</ref>
