Using a small rodent, such as a field mouse, and a predator, such as a snake, explain how coevolution works.
What will be an ideal response?
The rodent responds to the environmental pressure applied by the snake through changes in behavior, anatomy, or physiology to reduce the predation. The snake, facing reducing predatory success, changes in response to the rodent. The rodent again responds to the specifics of the environmental pressure. This step-by-step adaptation is known as coevolution.
