Pairwise and diffuse coevolution are defined, with examples that
include mutualisms and predator-prey interactions. In any example
of coevolution, the costs and benefits to both species involved in
the interaction must be assessed in order to understand evolution
of the interaction. Models to explain coral bleaching are examined
in the context of a coevolutionary mutualism, as are the
implications for the possible extinction of coral reefs. Data are
examined in order to determine which model is best supported. Other
examples of how evolution affects interactions and communities of
organisms include adaptation to living in particular habitats and
evolution to frequent and somewhat predictable disturbances. For
the former, physiological adaptations possessed by some plants to
live in low light conditions are described and assessed. Ecological
disturbances are defined, and the role of disturbance on evolution
of ecological systems is assessed through the use of data. Finally,
how time and spatial scales affect disturbances and the
evolutionary responses of organisms to disturbances are also
examined.
