Host and parasite evolution are closely intertwined, with selection for adaptations and
counter‐adaptations forming a coevolutionary feedback loop. Coevolutionary dynamics are …

What are the causes of natural selection? Over 40 years ago, Van Valen proposed the Red
Queen hypothesis, which emphasized the primacy of biotic conflict over abiotic forces in …

Humans have dramatic, diverse and far-reaching influences on the evolution of other
organisms. Numerous examples of this human-induced contemporary evolution have been …

Red Queen dynamics, involving coevolutionary interactions between species, are
ubiquitous, shaping the evolution of diverse biological systems. To date, information on the …

Avian parents and social insect colonies are victimized by interspecific brood parasites—
cheats that procure costly care for their dependent offspring by leaving them in another …

Measuring local adaptation can provide insights into how coevolution occurs between
predators and prey. Specifically, theory predicts that local adaptation in functionally matched …

Because coevolution takes place across a broad scale of time and space, it is virtually
impossible to understand its dynamics and trajectories by studying a single pair of …

Although coevolution is widely recognized as an important evolutionary process for pairs of
reciprocally specialized species, its importance within species-rich communities of …

Coevolution, reciprocal adaptation between two or more taxa, is commonly invoked as a
primary mechanism responsible for generating much of Earth's biodiversity. This …

The impact of community complexity on pairwise coevolutionary dynamics is theoretically
dependent on the extent to which species evolve generalised or specialised adaptations to …
