Apparent decoupling of eco-evolutionary dynamics in a dual-trait predator-prey interaction.

Abstract excerpt

Predator-prey coevolution is often characterized by ongoing arms races-so-called Red Queen dynamics-where reciprocal selection drives persistent trait oscillations. These evolutionary cycles can destabilize population dynamics and hinder coexistence. While classic models typically focus on evolution along a single ecological axis, real-world interactions often involve multiple, functionally distinct trait...
