Lande (1983) wrote, “A sudden change in the optimum phenotype in an adaptive zone can create strong selection for a major phenotypic change, sustained over several generations. If selection for the major effect of a major mutation is sufficiently strong to overcome its deleterious pleiotrophic effects, it may be fixed in a population before the new optimum phenotype can be built up by accumulation of minor mutations.”
