This project will be important in advancing the concept of physiological thermoregulation in reptiles from a descriptive to a mechanistic basis, thereby providing a better conceptual framework within which the evolutionary processes and selection pressures acting on modern animals and their ancestors can be evaluated. Benefits of conducting this research will include: maintaining the high international profile of Australian comparative physiology; the training of post-graduate students, both Honours and Ph.D.s; stimulating collaboration between two of Australia's research intensive universities (Sydney and Queensland); and show-casing Australia's impressive reptilian fauna.

这个项目将是重要的，在推进爬行动物的生理温度调节的概念，从一个描述到一个机械的基础上，从而提供了一个更好的概念框架内的进化过程和选择压力作用于现代动物和它们的祖先可以进行评估。 进行这项研究的好处将包括： 保持澳大利亚比较生理学的国际知名度; 培养研究生，包括荣誉生和博士生; 促进澳大利亚两所研究密集型大学（悉尼和昆士兰州）之间的合作; 展示澳大利亚令人印象深刻的爬行动物群。
