Australia is internationally recognized for its strong performance in evolutionary biology and quantitative genetics. This study contributes to the advancement of these fields. It is explicitly designed to create selection lines that can be used by developmental biologists, physiologists, geneticists and endocrinologists. This will strengthen links between institutes within Australia and internationally and later allow more applied questions to be asked. Although this study addresses a basic research question, it uses techniques and statistics that are integral to work selecting for improvement of commercial crops and animals. It therefore provides valuable training opportunities for an essential part of Australia's agricultural sector.

澳大利亚因其在进化生物学和数量遗传学方面的出色表现而受到国际认可。本研究有助于这些领域的发展。它被明确设计用于创建可供发育生物学家、生理学家、遗传学家和内分泌学家使用的选择系。这将加强澳大利亚国内和国际机构之间的联系，并允许以后提出更多的应用问题。虽然这项研究解决了一个基本的研究问题，但它使用的技术和统计数据是选择改善经济作物和动物的工作所不可或缺的。因此，它为澳大利亚农业部门的重要组成部分提供了宝贵的培训机会。
