ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESES. “We tested alternative predictions based on the hypotheses that the male–female interactions these genes mediate are mostly synergistic, regulating the switch of female physiology to reproduction, or mostly antagonistic, driven by sexual conflict. The broad pattern of evolutionary change in the expression of genes involved in this interaction, evident in both males and females from populations maintained under enforced monogamy, supports a prevailing role for sexual conflict.”
