Behavioral interference between species, such as territorial aggression, courtship, and mating, is widespread in animals. While aggressive and reproductive forms of interspecific interference have generally been studied separately, their many parallels and connections warrant a unified conceptual approach. Substantial evidence exists that aggressive and reproductive interference have pervasive effects on species coexistence, range limits, and evolutionary processes, including divergent and convergent forms of character displacement. Alien species invasions and climate change-induced range shifts result in novel interspecific interactions, heightening the importance of predicting the consequences of species interactions, and behavioral interference is a fundamental but neglected part of the equation. Here, we outline priorities for further theoretical and empirical research on the ecological and evolutionary consequences of behavioral interference.

动物之间普遍存在物种之间的行为干扰，例如领土侵略，求偶和交配。虽然种间干扰的侵害性和生殖形式通常已分别进行了研究，但它们的许多相似之处和联系需要采取统一的概念方法。有大量证据表明，侵略性和生殖性干扰对物种共存，范围限制和进化过程（包括字符位移的趋异形式和趋同形式）具有普遍影响。外来物种入侵和气候变化引起的范围变化导致新的种间相互作用，提高了预测物种相互作用后果的重要性，而行为干扰是方程式的基本但被忽略的一部分。这里，
