性冲突是男女互动的一个基本重要方面。在这篇评论文章中，我们强调了两种值得更多关注的方法。首先，我们回顾了理解性互动的“经济学”（成本和收益）的重要性，并注意到我们的知识中惊人的巨大，未被认识到的差距。第二，我们强调了新的障碍和机会所提供的依赖性拮抗（SA）选择当地的环境和条件的相互作用的个人。我们的结论是，在这两个领域的更多的研究是必不可少的，以充分了解SA的相互作用的演变，并将提供重要的新的见解在何种程度上共同进化的性别是由冲突塑造。我们认为，这些方法，虽然不是新的领域，被低估和代表性不足。
Sexual conflict is a fundamentally important aspect of male-female interactions. In this opinion piece, we emphasize two approaches that warrant significantly greater attention. First, we review the importance of understanding the 'economics' (costs and benefits) of sexual interactions and note surprisingly large, unrecognized gaps in our knowledge. Second, we highlight the novel obstacles and opportunities afforded by the dependence of sexually antagonistic (SA) selection on both the local environment and condition of the interacting individuals. We conclude that more research in these two areas is essential to fully understand the evolution of SA interactions and will provide significant new insights into the extent to which coevolution of the sexes is shaped by conflict. We argue that these approaches, although not new to the field, are undervalued and under-represented.
