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

Coevolutionary interactions, such as those between host and parasite, predator and prey, or
plant and pollinator, evolve subject to the genes of both interactors. It is clear, for example …

Adaptive dynamics is a mathematical framework for studying evolution. It extends
evolutionary game theory to account for more realistic ecological dynamics and it can …

An increasing number of scientists have recently raised concerns about the threat posed by
human intervention on the evolution of parasites and disease agents. New parasites …

The coevolution between hosts and parasites is predicted to have complex evolutionary
consequences for both antagonists, often within short time periods. To date, conclusive …

Biological rhythms, from circadian control of cellular processes to annual cycles in life
history, are a main structural element of biology. Biological rhythms are considered adaptive …

Hosts may mitigate the impact of parasites by two broad strategies: resistance, which limits
parasite burden, and tolerance, which limits the fitness or health cost of increasing parasite …

A widespread tenet is that evolution of pathogens maximises their basic reproduction ratio,
R 0. The breakdown of this principle is typically discussed as exception. Here, we argue that …

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

Honeybee declines are a serious threat to global agricultural security and productivity.
Although multiple factors contribute to these declines, parasites are a key driver. Disease …
