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 …

In response to the global spread of antimicrobial resistance, there is an increased demand
for novel and innovative antimicrobials. Bacteriophages have been known for their potential …

The evolutionary arms race between phages and bacteria, where bacteria evolve resistance
to phages and phages retaliate with resistance-countering mutations, is a major driving force …

Studying the coevolutionary dynamics between bacteria and the bacteriophage viruses that
infect them is critical to understanding both microbial diversity and ecosystem functioning …

Emerging viral diseases are often the product of a host shift, where a pathogen jumps from
its original host into a novel species. Phylogenetic studies show that host shifts are a …

In experimental evolution, laboratory-controlled conditions select for the adaptation of
species, which can be monitored in real time. Despite the current popularity of such …

Phage and their bacterial hosts are the most abundant and genetically diverse group of
organisms on the planet. Given their dominance, it is no wonder that many recent studies …

The alarming spread of multiresistant infections has kick-started the quest for alternative
antimicrobials. In a way, given the steady increase in untreatable infectious diseases …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 635–642 Abstract Host–parasite coevolution is a key driver of
biological diversity and parasite virulence, but its effects depend on the nature of …

Coevolution, the process of reciprocal adaptation and counter-adaptation between
ecologically interacting species, affects most organisms and is considered a key force …
