Specialist Coevolution

Specialist Coevolution is a theoretical framework within the study of host-parasite interactions that characterizes reciprocal evolutionary adaptations between a parasite with a narrow host range and its specific host species, distinguishing it from generalist coevolutionary dynamics by emphasizing high specificity and strong, bidirectional selection pressures.
