Understanding the ability of hermaphroditic animals to adapt their sex allocation to suit environmental conditions will pave the way for integration between pure and applied research. Such understanding can provide stakeholders across a range of disciplines (natural resource management, aquaculture, conservation) with key information about genetic and environmental influences on the reproduction of many species of significant ecological, economic and social value with this mating system. This research will yield knowledge at the very forefront of evolutionary ecology, enhancing Australia's reputation for research excellence in this field, and further benefit Australian science through the training of young scientists.

了解雌雄同体动物调整其性别分配以适应环境条件的能力将为理论研究和应用研究之间的整合铺平道路。这种理解可以为一系列学科（自然资源管理，水产养殖，保护）的利益相关者提供有关遗传和环境对许多具有重要生态，经济和社会价值的物种繁殖的关键信息。这项研究将产生进化生态学最前沿的知识，提高澳大利亚在这一领域卓越研究的声誉，并通过培训年轻科学家进一步造福澳大利亚科学。
