Landscapes are often spatially heterogeneous, and many species frequently confront novel environments to which they are not adapted. Whether a species becomes adapted to a novel environment, and thus undergoes niche evolution, may depend not only on the genetic architecture of the traits under selection, but also on the structure of the ecological landscape. Different models of gene architecture are used to show that complex genetic architectures tends to produce genetic canalization that slows adaptation to novel environments compared to simpler additive polygenic architectures, but that the topology of the landscape interacts with genetic architecture to influence the probability of adaptation. This interaction can lead to unexpected results, such as a greater probability of adaptation to a novel environment for a population of more highly canalized individuals than a population of less canalized individuals. The interplay between landscape structure and genetic architecture may influence the balance of evolutionary forces acting on a population, and thus whether a species is likely to adapt to the novel environments it confronts.
