Eco-evolutionary Dynamics, Hyper-diversity and Frequency-dependent Selection in Host-parasite Systems

Explore eco-evolutionary dynamics, hyper-diversity, and frequency-dependent selection in host-parasite systems through this 21-minute lecture by Mercedes Pascual from the University of Chicago. Delve into the complex interactions between hosts and parasites, examining how these relationships drive evolutionary processes and contribute to biodiversity. Gain insights into the mechanisms of frequency-dependent selection and its role in shaping ecological communities. Presented at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris, this talk offers a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge research in the field of eco-evolutionary biology.
