Dynamics of evolutionary succession and coordination between opposite adaptations in cuckoo hosts under antagonistic coevolution

Abstract Adaptations are driven by specific natural selection pressures throughout biological evolution. However, these cannot inherently align with future shifts in selection dynamics, thus manifesting in opposing directions. We performed field experiments on cuckoo hosts to investigate the coexist...
