This exciting new research project will provide a novel understanding of how animals respond and adapt to environmental variation. This will fill a critical gap between ecological theory and real-world populations and initiate a major shift in how we view the relationship between environments and the species that inhabit them. Natural resource use practices like forestry are rarely considered compatible with biodiversity conservation. This research will provide on-the-ground management recommendations to integrate such land uses with conservation, thereby providing both economic and conservation benefits to the Australian community.

这个令人兴奋的新研究项目将为动物如何应对和适应环境变化提供新的理解。这将填补生态理论和现实世界人口之间的一个关键空白，并在我们如何看待环境与栖息在其中的物种之间的关系方面引发重大转变。人们很少认为林业等自然资源使用做法与生物多样性保护相一致。这项研究将提供实地管理建议，将这种土地利用与保护结合起来，从而为澳大利亚社区提供经济和保护效益。
