Sexual coevolution occurs when changes in the phenotype of one sex select for changes in the other sex. We can identify the "footprint" of this coevolution by mating males and females from different populations and testing for a male-female genotype interaction for a trait associated with male (or female) performance. Here we mated male Drosophila melanogaster from five different continents with females from...
