The community benefits from the present project are two-fold. Firstly, it strengthens Australia's competititve position in evolutionary biology research, and its applications in conservation and medicine. The projects focus on long-term consequences of early developmental conditions is considered to be a priority in both medical and evolutionary research. Secondly, understanding variation in phenotypic traits in relation to environmental factors, such as prenatal stress, is important for designing conservation and animal breeding programs to minimize the risk of population decline and to ensure uncompromised husbandry conditions to avoid animal suffering.

社区从本项目中受益是双重的。首先，它加强了澳大利亚在进化生物学研究及其在保护和医学方面的应用方面的竞争地位。这些项目侧重于早期发育条件的长期后果，被认为是医学和进化研究的优先事项。其次，了解与环境因素（如产前应激）相关的表型性状变异，对于设计保护和动物育种计划以最大限度地降低种群下降的风险并确保不受损害的饲养条件以避免动物痛苦非常重要。
