Project description
Our project will address the process of environmental adaptation in all int different aspects, ranging from evolutionary to phenotypic responses over associated trade-offs to the underlyning genomic as well as transcriptomic architecture. Our direct objectives are:
1. to evaluate the importance of two adaptive responses
2. to measure the associated life-history trade-offs
3. to elucidate the underlyning genomic architecture.
