Violations of robustness trade‐offs
Molecular Systems Biology, 2010 Biological robustness is a principle that may shed light on system‐level characteristics of biological systems. One intriguing aspect of the concept of biological robustness is the possible existence of intrinsic trade‐offs among robustness, fragility ...

Assessing trade-offs in large marine protected areas. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Large marine protected areas (LMPAs) are increasingly being established and have a high profile in marine conservation. LMPAs are expected to achieve multiple objectives, and because of their size are postulated to avoid trade-offs that are common in ...

Identification of flux trade-offs in metabolic networks
Scientific Reports, 2021 Trade-offs are inherent to biochemical networks governing diverse cellular functions, from gene expression to metabolism. Yet, trade-offs between fluxes of biochemical reactions in a metabolic network have not been formally studied.

Relative flux trade-offs and optimization of metabolic network functionalities
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2022 Trade-offs between traits are present across different levels of biological systems and ultimately reflect constraints imposed by physicochemical laws and the structure of underlying biochemical networks.

Practitioner approaches to trade‐off decision‐making in marine conservation development
People and Nature, 2023 Mounting evidence suggests that win‐wins are elusive and trade‐offs are the norm in marine conservation development practice. The status quo involves trade‐offs, and any change brought to ecosystems, economies and societies will alter the distribution of

Is the Quantity-Quality Trade-Off a Trade-Off for All, None, or Some? [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 Abstract Although the theoretical trade-off between the quantity and quality of children is well established, empirical evidence supporting such a causal relationship—particularly on child health—is limited. We use two measures of child health to assess the quantity-quality trade-off across the entire distribution.

Political Trade-Offs: Democracy and Governance in a Changing World
Politics and Governance, 2019 The investigation of trade-offs in political science receives only limited attention, although many scholars acknowledge the importance of trade-offs across a variety of different areas. A systematic and comprehensive examination of the topic is missing.
