Interactions between organisms can produce both conflict and co-operation.
Co-evolution: Joint evolution of two unrelated species that have a close ecological relationship resulting in reciprocal adaptations as happens between host and parasite, and plant and insect.
What we're doing now is something made possible by genomic data-that is, we can look for the traces of that kind of co-evolution throughout the whole genome. We don't have to focus on a single pair of proteins.
In this experiment, co-evolution was also used to improve the quality of the solutions: battle plans for the enemy forces evolved concurrently with friendly plans, forcing the GA to correct any weaknesses in its own plan that an enemy could exploit.
