Host–parasite coevolution is widely assumed to have a major influence on biological
evolution, especially as these interactions impose high selective pressure on the …

Population bottlenecks—sudden, severe reductions in population size—are ubiquitous in
nature. Because of their critical implications for conservation genetics, the effects of …

Dormancy is an adaptation to living in fluctuating environments. It allows individuals to enter
a reversible state of reduced metabolic activity when challenged by unfavorable conditions …

Ongoing host–pathogen interactions are characterized by rapid coevolutionary changes
forcing species to continuously adapt to each other. The interacting species are often …

It is widely recognised that eco-evolutionary feedbacks can have important implications for
evolution. However, many models of host-parasite coevolution omit eco-evolutionary …

Parasite dispersal can shape host–parasite interactions at both deep and shallow
timescales. One approach to understanding the effects of dispersal is to study parasite …

Coevolution shapes diversity within and among populations but is difficult to study directly.
Time-shift experiments, where individuals from one point in time are experimentally …

In times when herpesvirus genomic data were scarce, the cospeciation between these
viruses and their hosts was considered to be common knowledge. However, as more …

Host defence against parasite infection can rely on two broad strategies: resistance and
tolerance. The spread of resistance traits usually lowers parasite prevalence and decreases …

Host–pathogen coevolution is central to shaping natural communities and is the focus of
much experimental and theoretical study. For tractability, the vast majority of studies assume …
