Co-evolution refers to the reciprocal evolutionary influence between two interacting species. In such relationships, each species exerts selective pressures on the other, shaping their adaptations over time. Notable examples include the mutualism between flowering plants and their pollinators, like hummingbirds, nocturnal animals, and honeybees. Another classic case is the relationship between acacia trees and ants, where both parties benefit and influence each other's evolutionary paths. This dynamic interplay illustrates the intricate connections within ecosystems.

What is Co-evolution? • Each party in a co-evolutionary relationship exerts selective pressures on the other, thereby affecting each others’ evolution.
