The possible interactions between intra- and interlocus sexual conflict. Loci are represented by letters (A/B) surrounded by circles (closed = existing conflict, open = resolved conflict). Selectional forces and responses to selection are represented by red and blue arrows, respectively. (A) IRSC selects on a shared trait to cause IASC. (B) IASC can prevent a trait from coevolving in response to selection caused by IRSC. (C) Resolved IASC can allow a trait to coevolve in response to IRSC, thereby enabling an intersexual arms race.
