Coadapting but not static predators facilitate prey adaptation to a fluctuating environment.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding how between-species interactions influence adaptation and population persistence in the face of environmental change is one of the greatest challenges for modern ecology and evolution, with important implications for conservation, and other applied fields. As predation is ubiquitous and may have strong demographic and selective impacts, it is likely to alter how prey respond to a changing...
