The theory of coevolution says that when closely interacting species drive evolutionary changes in each other this can lead to speciation—the evolution of new species. But until now, real-world ...

It is commonly accepted that phytophagous beetles and their host plants have radiated in concert since the origin of both groups in the early Cretaceous. Indeed, this is a textbook example of ...

Gene flow and the genetic structure of host and parasite populations are critical to the coevolutionary process, including the conditions under which antagonistic coevolution favors sexual ...

According to a new study, the first louse to take up residence on a mammalian host likely started out as a parasite of birds. That host-jumping event tens of millions of years ago began the long ...
