The effects on survival of species-species interaction in the face of a changing climate depend on whether the species' interests are conflicting or non-conflicting.
John J. Dennehy
The outcomes of host-parasite interactions depend on the coevolutionary forces acting upon them, but because every host-parasite relation is enmeshed in a web of biotic and abiotic interactions across a heterogeneous landscape, host-parasite coevolution has proven difficult to study. Simple laboratory phage-bacteria…

There is a long-standing interest in understanding host-parasite coevolutionary dynamics and associated fitness effects. Increasing amounts of genomic data for both interacting species offer a promising source to identify candidate loci and to infer the main parameters of the past coevolutionary history. However, so…

Coevolutionary minimal substrates are simple and abstract models that allow studying the relationships and codynamics between objective and subjective fitness. Using these models an approach is presented for defining and analyzing fitness landscapes of coevolutionary problems. We devise similarity measures of codynamic…

Phenotypic traits rarely evolve in isolation. Instead, multiple traits typically interact, resulting in complex coevolutionary dynamics. Such dynamics can be predicted using mathematical frameworks such as adaptive dynamics and quantitative genetics. Selection gradients play a crucial role in these frameworks…

Species do not merely evolve, they also coevolve with other organisms. Coevolution is a major force driving interacting species to continuously evolve exploring their fitness landscapes. Coevolution involves the coupling of species fitness landscapes, linking species genetic changes with their inter-specific ecological…

Interspecific interactions evolve along a continuum ranging from mutualism to antagonism. Evolutionary theory so far focused mostly on parts of this continuum, notably on mechanisms that enable and stabilise mutualism. These mechanisms often involve partner discrimination ensuring that interaction intensity is higher…

Many coevolutionary processes, including host-parasite and host-symbiont interactions, involve one species or trait which evolves much faster than the other. Whether or not a coevolutionary trajectory converges depends on the relative rates of evolutionary change in the two species, and so current adaptive dynamics…

Coevolution can occur as a result of species interactions. However, it remains unclear how coevolutionary processes translate into the accumulation of species richness over macroevolutionary timescales. Assuming speciation occurs in a metacommunity as a result of genetic differentiation across communities due to…

Coevolution occurs when species interact to influence one another’s fitness, resulting in reciprocal evolutionary change. In many coevolving lineages, trait expression in one species is modified by the genotypes and phenotypes of the other, forming feedback loops reminiscent of models of intraspecific social evolution.…

'Goggy Davidowitz' 'Judith L. Bronstein' 'Régis Ferrière'] There is now good evidence that many mutualisms evolved from antagonism; why or how, however, remains unclear. We advance the Co-Opted Antagonist (COA) Hypothesis as a general mechanism explaining evolutionary transitions from antagonism to mutualism. COA…

> Abstract. This paper explores the Coevolutionary Optional Prisoner's Dilemma (COPD) game, which is a simple model to coevolve game strategy and link weights of agents playing the Optional Prisoner's Dilemma game. We consider a population of agents placed in a lattice grid with boundary conditions. A number of Monte…

Conditions of Coevolutionary Signals that Enable Algorithmic Predictions of Protein Partners Authors: ['José Fiorote' 'João Alves' 'Letícia Stock' 'Werner Treptow'] This study examines the statistical conditions of coevolutionary signals that allow algorithmic predictions of protein partners based on amino acid…

The escalation of complexity is a commonly cited benefit of coevolutionary systems, but computational simulations generally fail to demonstrate this capacity to a satisfactory degree. We draw on a macroevolutionary theory of escalation to develop a set of criteria for coevolutionary systems to exhibit escalation of…

We propose substitution of the fittest (SF), a novel technique designed to counteract the problem of disengagement in two-population competitive coevolutionary genetic algorithms. The approach presented is domainindependent and requires no calibration. In a minimal domain, we perform a controlled evaluation of the…

Cooperation is one of the essential factors for all biological organisms in major evolutionary transitions. Recent studies have investigated the effect of migration for the evolution of cooperation. However, little is known about whether and how an individuals’ cooperativeness coevolves with mobility. One possibility…

'Francisco W. von Hartenthal' 'Leonardo Ré Jorge' 'Thomas M. Lewinsohn' 'Paulo R. Guimarães' 'Minus van Baalen'] Many theoretical models have been formulated to better understand the coevolutionary patterns that emerge from antagonistic interactions. These models usually assume that the attacks by the exploiters are…

Because of the emergence of F13L mutations in MonkeyPox Virus (MPXV)-infected patients with resistances to Tecovirimat-treatment, alternative drugs are actively searched. Aiming to help on these searches, computational strategies to generate rather than screen for new drug-like ligand candidates were explored here.…

Designing molecules with specific target properties remains a fundamental challenge in computational chemistry. While existing approaches show promise, most rely on simplified representations like SMILES strings or 2D graphs that lack essential three-dimensional geometric information. We present EvoDiffMol, a…

One of the triumphs of evolutionary biology is the discovery of robust mechanisms that promote the evolution of cooperative behaviors even when those behaviors reduce the fertility or survival of cooperators. Though these mechanisms, kin selection, reciprocity, and nonlinear payoffs to cooperation, have been…

The origin of life must have involved an unlikely transition from chaotic chemistry to reproducing supramolecular structures. Previous quantitative analyses of reproducing mutually catalytic networks made of simple molecules have led to increasing popularity of this pre-RNA scenario for life’s origin. Here, we…
