| Abstract | The word coevolution has become a standard part of the lexicon of evoltuionary biology. More than 1000 papers during the last decade have used coevolution in the title or abstract. Hundreds more have used the word in passing in the body of the paper. A half a dozen books now include coevolution in the title. As usage of coevolution has increased, so have the views on the processes and mechanisms of coevolutionary change. The problem now is to understand the ecological and genetic conditions that favor different modes and outcomes of evolution. | |
| Notes | Includes definitions on five different modes of coevolution, of which two involve cospeciation.Journal | |
