This project will characterise the interaction between the mitochondrial and nuclear genome in several species and its contribution to the divergence of species. This interaction is at the heart of energy transformation and storage in all animals and its importance to evolution is yet to be fully understood. The research will provide insight into speciation processes by focusing on recent divergence in Australian finch species. We will integrate genomics, bioenergetics, and whole organismal performance in growth, mobility and reproduction by studying birds in the wild and the laboratory. An overarching aim is to unite data from genomics, phenotype and physiology to understand the forces underlying the evolution of species, and biodiversity

该项目将研究几个物种的线粒体和核基因组之间的相互作用及其对物种分化的贡献。这种相互作用是所有动物能量转化和储存的核心，其对进化的重要性尚未完全理解。这项研究将通过关注澳大利亚雀类物种最近的分歧来深入了解物种形成过程。我们将通过在野外和实验室研究鸟类，整合基因组学，生物能量学和整个生物体在生长，移动和繁殖方面的表现。首要目标是将基因组学、表型和生理学的数据结合起来，以了解物种进化和生物多样性背后的力量。
