Explore: Coévolution

In biology, coevolution occurs when two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution through the process of natural selection. The term

CoEvolution Quarterly (1974–1985) was a journal descended from Stewart Brand's Whole Earth Catalog. Brand founded the CoEvolution Quarterly in 1974 using

Dual inheritance theory (DIT), also known as gene–culture coevolution or biocultural evolution, was developed in the 1960s through early 1980s to explain

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

important pollinating species. The Pollinator Partnership was founded as the Coevolution Institute (CoE) in 1997. The early mission of the organization was to

because it is one of the main features derived through flower-plant coevolution. Irregular flowers often coevolve with specific pollinators, while radially

female reproductive tracts may also play a role in sexual antagonistic coevolution with males. In Drosophila species, a large group of enzymes known as
