Coevolutionary Arms Races and the Conditions for the Maintenance of Mutualism.

The American naturalist - 1 Aug 2021

Week Bob, Nuismer Scott L

Abstract excerpt

AbstractEmpirical evidence suggests that coevolutionary arms races between flowering plants and their pollinators can occur in wild populations. In extreme cases, trait escalation may result in evolutionary switching from mutualism to parasitism. However, theoretical approaches to studying coevolution typically assume fixed types of ecological interactions and ignore the evolution of absolute fitness. Here, we...
