Many plants, such as the potato plant, avoid insect predation by producing highly toxic sap. However, the potato bug, unlike most insects, has adapted to the toxins and can still eat the potato plant. In turn, over a long period of time, potatoes are likely to develop more chemical defenses against the potato bugs.
This type of consistent adaptation between two species is known as
A) co-evolution.
B) commensalism.
C) a realized niche.
D) a fundamental niche.
