Abstract
This thesis presents theoretical models exploring how species interactions influence evolutionary and ecological processes. Chapters 2 and 3 examine how host-parasite interactions affect the evolution of mutation rate and non-random mating respectively. Chapter 4 verbally addresses whether the Allee effect could have a role in species co-existence, and Chapter 5 investigates this question with a model.
