Coral reefs are incredibly diverse ecosystems known as the “rainforests of the sea.” They are formed by coral polyps, which build protective structures over time. Coral reefs house a quarter of all marine species and provide various habitats for different organisms. Symbiotic relationships between coral and algae, as well as fish and coral, contribute to the health and stability of…
The Red Queen Hypothesis, coined by Leigh Van Valen in 1973, suggests that coevolution between species is driven by an ongoing “arms race” of adaptation and counter-adaptation. Species must constantly evolve just to maintain their relative fitness in the face of the ever-changing adaptations of other species. This process is seen in antagonistic interactions such as predator-prey relationships and host-parasite…
