The influence of closely associated species on each other in their evolution,
  1. The influence of closely associated species on each other in their evolution

  1. In a broad sense, biological coevolution is "the change of a biological object triggered by the change of a related object". ...
  2. (coevolve) to evolve jointly as with two closely associated species.
  3. (Coevolved) Members of two (or more) species contribute reciprocally to the forces of  natural selection that they exert on each other.
  4. the interdependent evolution of two or more species having an obvious ecological relationship (Lincoln et al., 1982).
  5. Two or more populations are evolved at the same time. Often the separate populations compete against each other.
  6. The process in which species exert selective pressure on each other and gradually evolve new features or behaviors as a result of those pressures.
  7. the joint evolution of two or more systems that interact with each other.
  8. one species changes in response to the changes of another species that it interacts with, particularly predator/prey relationships
  9. The process by which, over time, organisms change due to adaptive pressures on each other. The long, narrow bill of the hummingbird is a co-evolved adaptation that allows it to feed on plants with long, tubular flowers that, in turn, are adapted (co-evolved) for fertilization by the hummingbirds ...
  10. Two or more entities experience EVOLUTION in response to one another. Due to FEEDBACK mechanisms, this often results in a biological ARMS RACE.
  11. The mutual evolutionary influence between two different species interacting with each other and reciprocally influencing each other's adaptations.
  12. The evolution of complementary adaptations in two species caused by the selection pressure that each exerts on the other. It is common in symbiotic associations, in insect-pollinated plants, etc.
  13. The coordinated and interdependent evolution of two or more systems within a larger ecological system. There is feedback among the systems in terms of competition or cooperation and different utilization of the same limited resources. ...
  14. An evolutionary change in a trait of individuals of one population in response to a trait of individuals of a second population, followed by an evolutionary response of the second population to a change in the first.
  15. The evolution of two interacting species, each in response to selection imposed by the other. [13]
  16. The tendency of different parts of a whole system to develop in a way which makes them compatible with each other.
  17. Process by which two species evolve in response to changes in each other.
