The evolution of two or more species that are dependent on one another, with each species adapting to changes in the other. The development of flowering plants and insects such as bees and butterflies that pollinate them is an example of coevolution. ...

(Phys.org) -- Fruit flies are commonly used in genetics research because their lifespan is short, they are easy to breed in the laboratory, and mutants are widely available. There are about 1,500 known species. Now a new study of one of these species of
the smelling organs of the terrestrial coconut crab are similar to those of insects; the very similar shells of brachiopods and bivalve molluscs; prickles, thorns and spines have evolved independently to prevent or limit herbivory; plant hormones such as gibberellin and abscisic acid of plants and...
