Do natural populations have the ability to adapt ? I will present quantitative genetic results and novel research tracks that seek to understand how the genetic background and environmental heterogeneity shape the evolutionary potential of natural populations. I will highlight what ecological and evolutionary mechanisms limit or improve population potential to respond to selection and the potential role played by non genetic inheritance in this matter.
