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

Variation in host resistance and in the ability of pathogens to infect and grow (ie
pathogenicity) is important as it provides the raw material for antagonistic (co) evolution and …

At a glance, most species seem adapted to the environment in which they live. Yet species
relentlessly evolve, and populations within species evolve in different ways. Evolution, as it …

Although coevolution is widely accepted as a concept, its importance as a driving factor in
biological diversification is still being debated. Because coevolution operates mainly at the …

Adaptive divergence among populations can result in local adaptation, whereby genotypes
in native environments exhibit greater fitness than genotypes in novel environments. A body …

Measuring local adaptation can provide insights into how coevolution occurs between
predators and prey. Specifically, theory predicts that local adaptation in functionally matched …

An understanding of the evolution of pathogen quantitative traits in response to host
selective pressures is essential for the development of durable management strategies for …

Because coevolution takes place across a broad scale of time and space, it is virtually
impossible to understand its dynamics and trajectories by studying a single pair of …

Variation in disease resistance is a widespread phenomenon in wild plant–pathogen
associations. Here, we review current literature on natural plant–pathogen associations to …

Coevolution—reciprocal evolutionary change in interacting species—is one of the central
biological processes organizing the web of life, and most species are involved in one or …
