This study models how age-specific tolerance and virulence coevolve and finds that age structure influences coevolutionary dynamics and virulence selection.
The paper introduces a method to determine convergence stability in coevolutionary processes where one species evolves much faster than the other, reducing computational complexity by separating timescales.
The paper investigates how the timing of costs associated with developing disease resistance affects its evolutionary onset and finds that timing significantly influences whether resistance develops early or late.

This study uses a mathematical model to show how trade-offs between life-history traits affect the evolution of age-specific resistance to infectious disease, finding that juvenile resistance is often lower due to trade-offs with adult reproduction.
