meanwhile, austria reformed itself into the austro-hungarian empire in 1867 after losing the seven weeks war to prussia. in the years following the battle of lissa, wilhelm von tegetthoff would oversee the construction of three additional ironclads and the rebuilding of a fourth. after tegetthoff's death in 1871, the austro-hungarian navy entered its own period of neglect, with just five additional ironclads being constructed in the ensuing thirteen years. both navies engaged in further construction projects throughout the 1870s and early 1880s, but the arms race ended in the 1880s due the signing of the triple alliance between italy, austria-hungary, and germany in 1882 and the introduction of new technologies that led to the development of pre-dreadnought battleships. despite their alliance, however, italy and austria-hungary would engage in a second naval arms race centered around the construction of battleships at the turn of the century. this arms race would continue until the beginning of world war i.

in evolutionary biology, an evolutionary arms race is a struggle between competing sets of co-evolving genes, traits, or species, that develop adaptations and counter-adaptations against each other, resembling an arms race. these are often described as examples of positive feedback. the co-evolving gene sets may be in different species, as in an evolutionary arms race between a predator species and its prey (vermeij, 1987), or a parasite and its host. alternatively, the arms race may be between members of the same species, as in the manipulation/sales resistance model of communication (dawkins & krebs, 1979) or as in runaway evolution or red queen effects. one example of an evolutionary arms race is in sexual conflict between the sexes, often described with the term fisherian runaway. thierry lodé emphasized the role of such antagonistic interactions in evolution leading to character displacements and antagonistic coevolution.
