The results will contribute biological evidence for geological models of the evolution of New Caledonia and the Southwest Pacific region. Analyses will also contribute to improvement of methods and data interpretation in the field of historical biogeography. The molecular phylogeny will be the foundation for a new predictive classification of Australian Rutaceae at the level of tribes and genera. Improved phylogenetic classification underpins the delivery of biodiversity research, goods and services in Australia. Outcomes of improved taxonomy include species identification for ecological studies, identification of rare species, geographic areas of high conservation value and plants for horticulture.

研究结果将为新喀里多尼亚和西南太平洋地区的地质演化模式提供生物学证据。 分析还将有助于改进历史地理学领域的方法和数据解释。 分子系统发育将成为澳大利亚芸香科在族和属水平上进行新的预测分类的基础。 改进的系统发育分类支持在澳大利亚提供生物多样性研究、商品和服务。 改进的分类学的成果包括生态研究的物种鉴定、稀有物种的鉴定、高保护价值的地理区域和园艺植物的鉴定。
