  2. Coevolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coevolution

    Pairwise or specific coevolution, between exactly two species, is not the only possibility; in multi-species coevolution, which is sometimes called guild or diffuse coevolution, several to many species may evolve a trait or a group of traits in reciprocity with a set of traits in another species, as has happened between the flowering plants and ...

  3. Host–parasite coevolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host–parasite_coevolution

    Host–parasite coevolution is a special case of coevolution, where a host and a parasite continually adapt to each other. This can create an evolutionary arms race between them. A more benign possibility is of an evolutionary trade-off between transmission and virulence in the parasite, as if it kills its host too quickly, the parasite will ...

  4. Mosaic coevolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_Coevolution

    A commonly used example of mutualism in mosaic coevolution is that of the plant and pollinator.Anderson and Johnson studied the relationship between the length of the proboscis of the long-tongued fly (P. ganglbaueri) and the corolla tube length of Zaluzianskya microsiphon, a flowering plant endemic to South Africa. [4]

  5. Cospeciation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cospeciation

    Cospeciation is a form of coevolution in which the speciation of one species dictates speciation of another species and is most commonly studied in host-parasite relationships.

  6. List of examples of convergent evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_examples_of...

    The most well-studied example is the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, which independently evolved at the same positions regardless of the underlying sublineage. [272] The most ominent examples from the pre-Omicron era were E484K and N501Y, while in the Omicron era examples include R493Q, R346X, N444X, L452X, N460X, F486X, and F490X.

  7. Red Queen hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Queen_hypothesis

    A recently observed example has as protagonists M.xanthus (predator) and E.coli (prey) in which a parallel evolution of both species can be observed through genomic and phenotypic modifications, producing in future generations a better adaptation of one of the species that is counteracted by the evolution of the other, thus generating an arms ...

  8. Escape and radiate coevolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_and_Radiate_Coevolution

    An example of an organism using one of these defense mechanisms is the granular poison frog which defends itself through aposematism. It is important to understand that in order for escape and radiate coevolution to occur, it is necessary that the developed defense is novel rather than previously established.

  9. Dual inheritance theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_inheritance_theory

    Dual inheritance theory (DIT), also known as gene–culture coevolution or biocultural evolution, [1] was developed in the 1960s through early 1980s to explain how human behavior is a product of two different and interacting evolutionary processes: genetic evolution and cultural evolution.
