Q

geographic mosaic theory (hotspot, coldspot)

A

populations in different geographic ranges experience different levels of selection (stronger in one area, hotspot, and nether selection on host or parasite, coldspot)

hotspot = strong selection on both species

Q

coevolutionary arms races

A

Coevolutionary arms races describe the reciprocal evolution of traits in interacting species, driven by competitive pressures to gain reproductive or survival advantages over each other.

Q

attenuated (stop or slow it down) coevolution

A

virus so mf good at rabbits died before they could pass it down thus making the virus not too good in the end
