Diffuse coevolution is also known as multi-species or guild coevolution. It occurs when several species collectively influence one another. An example is pollination systems in which plants interact ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dr. Lance B. Eliot is a world-renowned AI scientist and consultant. In today’s column, I explore the emerging belief that humans ...

Here, we introduce an approach that combines evolutionary theory and network theory to evaluate how direct and indirect effects shape trait evolution in mutualistic networks. Using a single-trait ...

Species constantly engage in strong interactions with other species - parasites, predators, prey, and mutualists. As a result, their traits may coevolve and diversify in geographic mosaics. Aa Aa Aa ...

According to a new study, the first louse to take up residence on a mammalian host likely started out as a parasite of birds. That host-jumping event tens of millions of years ago began the long ...

Over time, particle physics and astrophysics and computing have built upon one another’s successes. That coevolution continues today. In the mid-twentieth century, particle physicists were peering ...

Webs of mutualistic species often expand as new species are introduced. Here a female Anna’s hummingbird visits a Mexican bush sage in a California garden. (Photo by John Thompson) Coevolution, which ...

Researchers studied two Colombian villages and discovered that the risk of gastric cancer (caused by Helicobacter pylori bacteria) depends on both the ancestry of the person and the ancestry of the ...

A recent study involving Central European University (CEU) is paving the way for a new field of research that merges artificial intelligence and complexity science to understand how ongoing ...

Auburn researchers have published a new hypothesis, the coevolution effect, that could provide the foundation for new scientific studies looking into the association of habitat loss and the global ...
