This paper reports the construction of mathematical models for how host-parasite co-evolution might affect diversity at different nutrient levels. Using the example of T7 phage and Escherichia coli, it was shown that many results are insensitive to the biological details of the interaction, but peculiarities of the model system can be predicted and experimentally verified.
