We will dissect the interaction between an Australian butterfly and changing climate. This will make significant contributions to the national research priorities Responding to climate change and variability and Sustainable use of Australia's biodiversity. We will address the known deficits in standard approaches to predicting futures for biota. We will provide an Australian species in which the mechanisms of response to climate change are understood in detail. Our outputs will be directly applicable to other butterflies: 19 threatened taxa in Australia. The novelty of our approach will be of marked international interest, and will train Australian researchers in a new way of predicting biological impacts of climate change.

我们将剖析澳大利亚蝴蝶与气候变化之间的相互作用。这将为应对气候变化和变异以及可持续利用澳大利亚生物多样性的国家研究重点做出重大贡献。我们将解决在预测生物群未来的标准方法中已知的缺陷。我们将提供一个澳大利亚物种，其中对气候变化的反应机制被详细理解。我们的成果将直接适用于澳大利亚其他19种受威胁的蝴蝶类群。我们的新方法将引起国际社会的极大兴趣，并将培养澳大利亚研究人员以一种新的方式预测气候变化的生物影响。
