Bacteria–phage coevolution, the reciprocal evolution between bacterial hosts and the
phages that infect them, is an important driver of ecological and evolutionary processes in …

A recent trend in invasion ecology relates the success of non‐indigenous species (NIS) to
reduced control by enemies such as pathogens, parasites and predators (ie the enemy …

▪ Abstract Recent theories regarding the evolution of predator-prey interactions is reviewed.
This includes theory about the dynamics and stability of both populations and traits, as well …

Ants are probably the most dominant insect group on Earth, representing ten to fifteen
percent of animal biomass in terrestrial ecosystems. Flowering plants, meanwhile, owe their …

Co-evolution between host and pathogen is, in principle, a powerful determinant of the
biology and genetics of infection and disease. Yet co-evolution has proven difficult to …

Antagonistic coevolution between hosts and parasites is believed to play a pivotal role in
host and parasite population dynamics, the evolutionary maintenance of sex and the …

John N. Thompson central problem in coevolutionary studies is to understand the ecological
and genetic conditions that permit interacting species to undergo repeated bouts of …

Existing and emerging pathogens pose unusual challenges for conservation because of
their potential to drive rapid changes in the numerical abundance and genetic composition …

Characteristics of hosts and parasites have a genetic basis, and thus can be shaped by
coevolution. Infections measured under laboratory conditions have shown that the …

Models of host‐parasite coevolution assume the presence of genetic variation for host
resistance and parasite infectivity, as well as genotype‐specific interactions. We used the …
