This project aims to develop an innovative approach that integrates diverse data sources, from genetic sequences to geographic distributions, to improve inference of evolutionary dynamics. This will provide a powerful and efficient new method for understanding species’ responses to climate change, demonstrated by inferring past, current and future climate adaptability in a diverse and ecologically important Australian plant family. Expected outcomes include enrichment of evolutionary theory and software tools to assess species' vulnerability to climate change. These outcomes will bring significant benefits to improve knowledge and protection of Australian biota and maximise returns on Australia's investment in biodiversity databases.

该项目旨在开发一种创新方法，整合从基因序列到地理分布的各种数据源，以改善对进化动力学的推断。这将为了解物种对气候变化的反应提供一种强大而有效的新方法，通过推断澳大利亚一个多样化和生态上重要的植物家族的过去，现在和未来的气候适应性来证明。预期成果包括丰富进化理论和软件工具，以评估物种对气候变化的脆弱性。这些成果将为改善澳大利亚生物群的知识和保护带来重大利益，并最大限度地提高澳大利亚在生物多样性数据库方面的投资回报。
