Abstract: Defensive microbial symbionts are common in plants and animals, protecting their hosts against parasitic enemies. Rafaluk-Mohr et al. show that defensive microbes alter the trajectory of host-parasite coevolution, favouring the evolution of fundamentally different life-history responses to… read more here.

Abstract: It is widely recognised that eco-evolutionary feedbacks can have important implications for evolution. However, many models of host-parasite coevolution omit eco-evolutionary feedbacks for the sake of simplicity, typically by assuming the population sizes of both… read more here.

Abstract: Organisms adapt to their environment through evolutionary processes. Environments consist of abiotic factors, but also of other organisms. In many cases, two or more species interact over generations and adapt in a reciprocal way to… read more here.
