Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior: Coevolution - Lecture 20

Explore the fascinating concept of coevolution in this 48-minute lecture from Yale University's "Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior" course. Delve into the various levels of coevolution, from intracellular organelles to species interactions. Examine symbiotic relationships and parasitism as examples of helpful and harmful coevolution. Discover the key principles governing coevolutionary processes, including frequency and degree of interaction. Learn about coevolutionary mimicry, models, and domestication. Investigate the far-reaching consequences of coevolution in shaping ecosystems and evolutionary trajectories. The lecture is divided into seven chapters, covering introductory concepts, definitions, symbioses and parasites, coevolutionary principles, mimicry, domestication, and concluding thoughts on the impact of coevolution.
