Nifty preprint with an experiment coevolving Brassica rapa with pollinating, herbivorous butterflies. With bumblebee co-pollinators or heat stress added, the plants evolved stronger anti-herbivore defense; with both bees and heat, they evolved... to attract butterflies?

Experimentally co-evolved E. coli and yeast achieve stable coexistence — and the coevolved E. coli, but not the yeast, is able to resist invasion by other bacterial strains

So this came online over the weekend: My dive into the "definition" of coevolution is online ahead of publication in @journal_evo
Don’t ask "when is it coevolution?" — ask "how?"

We’re excited to announce Dr. Floria Mora-Kepfer Uy (Univ. of Rochester) as a plenary speaker at #ABL2025!
Dr Floria’s talk will explore how parasites reprogram social wasps—revealing deep insights into plasticity, manipulation & coevolution. 🐝

Not going to make any direct claims here, but I will drop some innuendo. "Even a broken clock is right 2x/day" is a good enough analogy for how #co-evolution will statistically come around to help regulate nature's #complex adaptive system. Overpopulation in 1 area drives counteractions elsewhere.

Olusanya et al. study genetic load and extinction in a metapopulation. Their analysis is based on a novel theoretical framework that tracks the co-evolution of load and population sizes and gives a nuanced picture of the genetic and demographic factors that affect extinction. Now available ahead of print! https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/735562

Coevolution (Habitat 🌄)
In biology, coevolution occurs when two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution through the process of natural selection. The term sometimes is used for two traits in the same species affecting each other's evolution, as well as gene-culture coevolution. Charles Darwin mentioned evolutionary i...

#Commitment and #cooperation: a #coevolution|ary relationship
Though natural #selection favours self-interest, #humans are extraordinarily good at cooperating with one another. Why?

In simulation, Caudill & Ralph find that coevolutionary dynamics alone are not sufficient to produce the striking mosaic of levels of toxicity and resistance observed in nature, but with ecological heterogeneity, it did produce such patterns. https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/733456

Some fungal crops became completely reliant on #ants 27 million years ago https://phys.org/news/2024-10-genetic-database-fungal-crops-reliant.html
The #coevolution of #fungus-ant agriculture https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adn7179
"#ants began farming #fungi when an #asteroid struck Earth 66 million years ago. This impact caused a mass #extinction but also created ideal conditions for fungi to thrive. Innovative ants began cultivating the fungi, creating a partnership that became even more tightly intertwined 27 million years ago and continues to this day"

Once we imitated enough sounds, we had a repertoire from which to #remix.
Here's a #coevolution fractal duality: #adaptation & #exaptation. Copy/re-create & adopt what exists, and/or modify & repurpose/create something new. (repeat)
After sharing common perception of sound, sight, smells, taste & touch, we were left with the still difficult part of putting words to our feelings & emotions. Hard to escape the abstraction there.

Temperature is a fundamental driver of parasite dynamics, yet is often ignored in studies of host–parasite coevolution. Lyberger et al. document patterns of local adaptation to hosts in a mosquito parasite across thermal environments and species range.

#Cuckoos evolve to look like their hosts—and form #NewSpecies in the process https://phys.org/news/2024-05-cuckoos-evolve-hosts-species.html
#Coevolution with hosts underpins #speciation in brood-parasitic cuckoos https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adj3210
"Each species of bronze-cuckoo closely matches the appearance of their host's chicks, fooling the host parents into accepting the #cuckoo. The study shows how these interactions can cause new species to arise when a cuckoo species exploits several different hosts."

"A life without dogs is possible but pointless."

When Santa's exhausted reindeer finally set down their sleigh in the deep snow of the North Pole early Christmas morning, it's not Rudolph's radiant red nose that will help them find sustenance in the barren landscape.
Instead, researchers report that the eyes of Rudolph and his reindeer brethren may have evolved so that they can spot their favorite food during dark and snowy Arctic Winters. #reindeer #evolution #coevolution
