Detailed explanation-1: -Coevolution, or coevolution, is the reciprocal evolutionary change in a set of interacting populations over time resulting from the interactions between those populations. Usually, the interacting populations are different species, like plant–pollinator, predator–prey, or host–parasite.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term coevolution is used to describe cases where two (or more) species reciprocally affect each other’s evolution.

Detailed explanation-3: -Types of Coevolution A few different categories of coevolution are often discussed by scientists in ecology and evolutionary biology: pairwise coevolution, diffuse coevolution, and gene-for-gene coevolution.

Detailed explanation-4: -In specific coevolution, or coevolution in the narrow sense, in which one species interacts closely with another, and changes in one species induce adaptive changes in the other, and vice-versa.
