 Many species adapt to environmental change by tuning their life-histories in favour of fitness maximization. But the options are constrained by trade-offs such as increasing offspring while decreasing survivorship. Trade-offs between fitness traits are a central tennet in life-history theory and a major question is how they are regulated across different environments. This workshop aims to explore different ways of studying the genetic (transcriptional) architecture of trade-offs. How can we use high throughput technologies to study trade-offs? What are the evolutionary implications of a tightly regulated trade-off?
