The proposed research is curiosity-driven and therefore its main benefit is in enhancing our understanding of the evolutionary processes that shape our natural environment. The proliferation of 'natural history' television programmes, magazines and books demonstrates the very substantial national interest in these topics. The Black Swan is a well-known bird of particular public affection. Its status as a national iconic symbol has been reflected in the degree of local and general community interest and involvement in our research in Ballarat to date.

这项拟议的研究是由好奇心驱动的，因此它的主要好处是增强了我们对塑造我们自然环境的进化过程的理解。《自然历史》电视节目、杂志和书籍的大量涌现表明，国家对这些话题非常感兴趣。黑天鹅是一种特别受公众喜爱的著名鸟类。它作为国家标志性标志的地位反映在当地和广大社区对我们迄今为止在巴拉拉特的研究的兴趣和参与程度上。
