We thank the authors of all papers contributing to this section for their collaboration and the insightful manuscripts. Space limitation does not allow us to mention all the interesting points they make and we strongly encourage readers to delve into these stimulating conceptual papers.
Yannis Michalakis holds a position of Directeur de Recherches at the CNRS in Montpellier, France. He works on the evolution of host–parasite interactions where, using theoretical and empirical approaches, he has addressed issues related to the evolution of virulence, local adaptation, life-history traits, sex, and genome architecture.

Stéphane Blanc is a Directeur de Recherches at the INRA in Montpellier, France. He works on the interactions between plants, viruses, and insect vectors using molecular and cellular approaches. Recently, his main research focus became the elucidation of various aspects of the life cycle of multipartite viruses, using nanoviruses as model viral systems. Stéphane Blanc and Yannis Michalakis closely collaborate since 1997 on several topics of virus evolution through experiments involving plant viruses. Their most recent common topic of interest is the evolution of multipartite viruses.
