Australia's arid zone comprises two thirds of the country yet from a climate change, biodiversity, and conservation point of view it has received little attention relative to eastern Australia. The project will address broad questions in evolutionary biology with unique Australian systems, make a world class contribution to the fields of phylogeography, molecular phylogenetics and conservation genetics and contribute substantially to the continued training of high quality research students and postdoctoral fellows. The project directly addresses two National Priority Research Areas and will supply of critical information to the eight biggest of the 57 Natural Resource Management Regions.

澳大利亚的干旱区占全国面积的三分之二，但从气候变化、生物多样性和保护的角度来看，相对于澳大利亚东部，它几乎没有受到关注。该项目将以独特的澳大利亚系统解决进化生物学中的广泛问题，为生物地理学，分子生物遗传学和保护遗传学领域做出世界级的贡献，并为继续培养高质量的研究生和博士后研究员做出重大贡献。该项目直接涉及两个国家优先研究领域，并将为57个自然资源管理区中的8个最大的自然资源管理区提供重要信息。
