Australia has an outstanding international reputation in the fields of Ecology and Evolution. This study will reinforce Australia's excellence in these fields. Sexual conflict is a topic of great scientific interest because it has important implications for evolutionary theory and our understanding of the diverse strategies that animals use to attract or repel potential mates. Consequently, articles on this topic feature regularly in top international scientific journals. In addition, research on the unique social behaviours of Australian animals holds general public interest and plays an important role in attracting young people to careers in science.

澳大利亚在生态学和进化学领域享有杰出的国际声誉。这项研究将加强澳大利亚在这些领域的优势。性冲突是一个具有重大科学意义的话题，因为它对进化理论和我们对动物吸引或排斥潜在配偶的不同策略的理解具有重要意义。因此，关于这一主题的文章经常出现在国际顶级科学期刊上。此外，对澳大利亚动物独特社会行为的研究引起了公众的普遍兴趣，并在吸引年轻人从事科学事业方面发挥了重要作用。
