This project covers all four national priority areas. Nature abounds with conflicts between what is good for the individual or a larger entity (a population, a society, or a species). Researching them will explain why populations adapt or fail to adapt to novel conditions (e.g., climate change) and predict when interventions are beneficial. Similar rules govern the spread of invasive species. Even health problems, e.g., new virulent strains of human, animal or plant diseases, require such evolutionary thinking. Cutting-edge mathematical tools also prepare Australians for an era in the near future where genomic data are so cheap to acquire that training in complex mathematical and logical analysis becomes a factor limiting scientific progress.

该项目涵盖所有四个国家优先领域。自然界充满了对个人或更大实体（人口，社会或物种）有利的冲突。对它们的研究将解释为什么种群会适应或无法适应新的条件（例如，气候变化），并预测干预措施何时有益。类似的规则也控制着入侵物种的传播。甚至健康问题，例如，人类、动物或植物疾病的新的致病菌株需要这种进化思维。尖端的数学工具也让澳大利亚人为不久的将来的一个时代做好了准备，在这个时代，基因组数据的获取非常便宜，以至于复杂的数学和逻辑分析培训成为限制科学进步的一个因素。
