<speciesfyi-glossary slug="coevolution"></speciesfyi-glossary>Definition
The reciprocal evolutionary change between interacting species, such as between predators and prey or flowers and pollinators.
Detailed Explanation
Coevolution produces some of nature's most intricate and beautiful adaptations. The "evolutionary arms race" between cheetahs and gazelles has driven both to peak athletic performance. Flowering plants and their pollinators have coevolved such tight dependencies that some orchid species can only be pollinated by a single bee species. Disrupting these partnerships — such as through pollinator decline — threatens food systems.
