CONSTRAINTS ON PHENOTYPE. “The common theme of all of the above is constraints on phenotypes. Allocation, antagonistic pleiotropy, mutational decay, and the laws of physics are all reasons why organisms can’t build (or can’t maintain, over evolutionary time) certain phenotypes. Trade-offs reflect constraints on the range of phenotypic options that are open to organisms.”
