Optimization processes, such as evolution, are constrained by diminishing returns—the closer the optimum, the smaller the benefit per mutation, and by tradeoffs—improvement of one property at the cost of others. However, the magnitude and molecular basis of these parameters, and their effect on evolutionary transitions, remain unknown. Here we purs...
