The natural evolution of biological systems cannot be considered separately from the concept of co-evolution. Co-evolution is one of the central evolutionary drives that leads to the current state of the biosphere, with the diversity of organisms that we can perceive around us.
We can define co-evolution as a mutually beneficial strategy of the simultaneous evolution of multiple genealogies of different organisms. The evolution of one species cannot be possible without other species. During evolution, the co-evolving species mutually interact, and these inter-species relations shape their evolutionary strategy.
There are three main types of co-evolution:
- Mutualism is when two or more species coexist and mutually benefit each other.
- Competitive co-evolution:
- Predation is when one organism kills another and consumes its resources.
- Parasitism is when...
