Population Genetics: Coevolution in Host-Pathogen Systems

  • Chapter

  • 349 Accesses

Part of the book series: Progress in Botany ((BOTANY,volume 61))

Abstract

One of the greatest challenges in evolutionary biology is to explain how interspecific interactions influence the evolution of the species involved and how evolution modifies these interactions. This task requires a synthesis of population genetic theories, experimental results, and ecological evidence.
