Understanding what conserves biodiversity is a crucial challenge for Australian science. This research will provide critical information on the consequences of global climatic change: southerly shifts in distributions of animals due to rising temperatures; vertical shifts due to rising sea level and changes in amounts of food for grazing species. This information will underpin the future management of conservation and will improve understanding on issues such as how and why species are able to invade new areas, the effects on the resident species and how species change distribution in relation to the availability of specific needs for habitat.

了解是什么保护了生物多样性是澳大利亚科学界面临的一个关键挑战。这项研究将提供关于全球气候变化后果的关键信息：由于气温上升，动物分布向南转移；海平面上升引起的垂直移动和食草物种食物数量的变化。这些信息将支持未来的保护管理，并将提高对诸如物种如何以及为什么能够入侵新地区，对常驻物种的影响以及物种如何根据栖息地的特定需求而改变分布等问题的理解。
