This project will contribute towards Australia's burgeoning reputation as a country where excellent and original research in behavioural ecology and evolution is conducted. By focusing on the evolution and function of sperm and genitalic traits, the project will address fundamental questions at the core of contemporary evolutionary research, thereby yielding results that will have a significant international impact. Australian science will further benefit from the research fellow's established collaborations with international scientists and through the training of young scientists.

该项目将有助于澳大利亚作为一个在行为生态学和进化方面进行优秀和原创研究的国家的声誉。通过关注精子和生殖器特征的进化和功能，该项目将解决当代进化研究的核心问题，从而产生将产生重大国际影响的结果。澳大利亚科学将进一步受益于该研究员与国际科学家建立的合作关系，并通过培训青年科学家。
