Reproductive interference (costly interspecific sexual interactions) is well‐understood to promote divergence in mating‐relevant traits (i.e. reproductive character displacement: RCD), but it can also reduce population growth, eventually leading to local extinction of one of the species. The ecological and evolutionary processes driven by reproductive interference can interact with each other. These interactions are likely to influence whether the outcome is coexistence or extinction, but remain little studied. In this paper, we first develop an eco‐evolutionary perspective on reproductive interference by integrating ecological and evolutionary processes in a common framework. We also present a simple model to demonstrate the eco‐evolutionary dynamics of reproductive interference. We then identify a number of factors that are likely to influence the relative likelihoods of extinction or RCD. We discuss particularly relevant factors by classifying them into four categories: the nature of the traits responding to selection, the mechanisms determining the expression of these traits, mechanisms of reproductive interference and the ecological background. We highlight previously underappreciated ways in which these factors may influence the relative likelihoods of RCD and local extinction. By doing so, we also identify questions and future directions that will increase our holistic understanding of the outcomes of reproductive interference.

异种交配相互作用作为生态学和进化之间的接口

众所周知，生殖干扰（代价高昂的种间性相互作用）会促进交配相关性状的分化（即生殖特征置换：RCD），但它也可以减少种群增长，最终导致其中一个物种在当地灭绝。由生殖干扰驱动的生态和进化过程可以相互作用。这些相互作用可能会影响结果是共存还是灭绝，但研究很少。在本文中，我们首先通过将生态和进化过程整合到一个共同的框架中来发展关于生殖干扰的生态进化观点。我们还提出了一个简单的模型来证明生殖干扰的生态进化动力学。然后，我们确定了一些可能影响灭绝或 RCD 相对可能性的因素。我们通过将它们分为四类来讨论特别相关的因素：响应选择的性状的性质、决定这些性状表达的机制、生殖干扰机制和生态背景。我们强调了这些因素可能影响 RCD 和局部灭绝的相对可能性的先前被低估的方式。通过这样做，我们还确定了问题和未来的方向，这将增加我们对生殖干扰结果的整体理解。决定这些性状表达的机制、生殖干扰机制和生态背景。我们强调了这些因素可能影响 RCD 和局部灭绝的相对可能性的先前被低估的方式。通过这样做，我们还确定了问题和未来的方向，这将增加我们对生殖干扰结果的整体理解。决定这些性状表达的机制、生殖干扰机制和生态背景。我们强调了这些因素可能影响 RCD 和局部灭绝的相对可能性的先前被低估的方式。通过这样做，我们还确定了问题和未来的方向，这将增加我们对生殖干扰结果的整体理解。
