DESCRIPTION:One aspect of sexual conflict that makes it interesting is the
  potential for continuous coevolution between male and female antagonistic
  traits. For example\, male in many species evolve traits that are harmful
  to females\, and females in these species often evolve ways to resist mal
 e harm. Despite great interest in this evolutionary ‘battle of the sexes
 ’\, we are missing key insights into how sexual conflict and coevolution
  happen. For example\, we do not know how much sexual conflict contributes
  to sexual coevolution compared with other processes that generate sexual 
 covariation. Furthermore\, we do not know how much the ecological setting 
 matters in shaping sexual conflict\, with theoretical models predicting th
 at it should matter very much or very little. I will present observations 
 and experiments that address these questions in water striders.
