Answer:

coevolution

Step-by-step explanation:

Coevolution plays a key role in shaping the biodiversity on Earth. Coevolution is commonly defined as reciprocal evolutionary changes brought about by interactions between species, implying that interacting species impose selection on each other(Science direct).

We can see that the change that occurred in the plants of the tropical rainforests is closely related to their link to birds. The fruits evolved an attractive color so that birds, having evolved to eat the brightly-colored fruits, may eat them.
