Diffuse coevolution is also known as multi-species or guild coevolution. It occurs when several species collectively influence one another. An example is pollination systems in which plants interact ...

Edited by Raghavendra Gadagkar, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, and approved March 9, 2010 (received for review January 18, 2010) We next tested whether, in the subsequent absence of ...

Male genitalia are among the most phenotypically variable of morphological traits. Sexual selection is widely believed to be responsible for this pattern of rapid and divergent evolution 1,2,3, and ...

Phylogenetic methods inferring molecular coevolution have recently gained traction for their capacity to predict protein surface interactions and to clarify their function within metabolic pathways.

During the struggle for survival, populations occasionally evolve new functions that give them access to untapped ecological opportunities. Theory suggests that coevolution between species can promote ...

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 microbial communities.

In evolutionary ecology, coevolution is typically defined as reciprocal evolution of interacting species. However, outside the context of interacting species, the term "coevolution" is also used at ...

Host populations often evolve defenses against parasites due to the significant fitness costs imposed by infection. However, adaptation to a specific parasite may alter the effectiveness of the host’s ...

Pycoevol is an integrated system for studying inter-protein coevolution and interaction. It automates the identification of contact points between protein partners, extending the general coevolution ...

Protein function arises from a poorly understood pattern of energetic interactions between amino acid residues. Sequence-based strategies for deducing this pattern have been proposed, but lack of ...

This example explores cooperative coevolution using DEAP. This tutorial is not as complete as previous examples concerning type creation and other basic stuff. Instead, we cover the concepts of ...
