Following their respective breeding seasons, several species of hummingbirds occur at the same locations in North America, and several hummingbird flowers bloom simultaneously in these habitats. These flowers have converged to a common morphology and color because these are effective at attracting the birds. Different lengths and curvatures of the corolla tubes can affect the efficiency of extraction in hummingbird species in relation to differences in bill morphology. Tubular flowers force a bird to orient its bill in a particular way when probing the flower, especially when the bill and corolla are both curved. This allows the plant to place pollen on a certain part of the bird's body, permitting a variety of morphological co-adaptations.

喜鸟类的花需要引起鸟的注意。鸟类的视觉光谱在红色一端拥有极好的色调辨别能力和最强的光谱敏感性，所以红色对它们来说特别显眼。蜂鸟可能也可以看到紫外线的“颜色”。在缺少花蜜的昆虫传粉的花朵中，紫外线图案和花蜜的流行向导和警告鸟类避开这些花。蜂鸟的两个亚科——隐士蜂鸟亚科(phaeethornithinae，hermits)和热带蜂鸟亚科(Trochilinae，Trochilinae)的每一个亚科都与一组特定的花一起进化。大多数种类与大型单子叶植物有关，而金线菊亚科更喜欢双子叶植物。

Antagonistic coevolution is seen in the [[harvester ant]] species ''[[Pogonomyrmex barbatus]]'' and ''[[Pogonomyrmex rugosus]]'', in a relationship both parasitic and mutualistic. The queens are unable to produce worker ants by mating with their own species. Only by crossbreeding can they produce workers. The winged females act as parasites for the males of the other species as their sperm will only produce sterile hybrids. But because the colonies are fully dependent on these hybrids to survive, it is also mutualistic. While there is no genetic exchange between the species, they are unable to evolve in a direction where they become too genetically different as this would make crossbreeding impossible.<ref name="Herrmann Cahan pp. 20141771–20141771">{{cite journal |last1=Herrmann |first1=M. |last2=Cahan |first2=S.
