Birds provide key ecosystem functions like pollination, insect control, and seed dispersal in Australia. Climate change is well documented and has a pronounced effect on birds, commonly leading to range shifts. This study will quantify patterns of gene flow at a landscape scale in declining and common birds in Australia and abroad. The project builds on strong international links to the Galapagos Islands as well as a regional focus for South Australia. The linkage organisations are committed to implementing management outcomes for native flora and fauna, which need to be underpinned with quality baseline data. The outcomes will also inform climate modelling for the State and Australia.

在澳大利亚，鸟类提供了重要的生态系统功能，如授粉、昆虫控制和种子传播。气候变化对鸟类有明显的影响，通常会导致活动范围的变化。本研究将在景观尺度上量化澳大利亚和国外濒危鸟类和普通鸟类的基因流动模式。该项目建立在与加拉帕戈斯群岛的强大国际联系以及南澳大利亚州的区域重点基础上。这些联系组织致力于实施本地动植物的管理成果，这些成果需要以高质量的基线数据为基础。研究结果还将为该州和澳大利亚的气候模型提供信息。
