This work will make a significant contribution to the understanding of the Quaternary history of the forests of south-eastern Australia. Finding the location of glacial refugia is crucial to the development of long-term conservation strategies, as they are areas of high genetic and species diversity. Understanding the evolutionary processes that affect genetic diversity and gene flow of these keystone species (Nothofagus cunninghamii, N. moorei, Acacia melanoxylon, Eucalyptus viminalis) will help their long-term management.

这项工作将作出重大贡献的第四纪历史的澳大利亚东南部的森林的理解。找到冰川避难所的位置对于制定长期保护战略至关重要，因为它们是遗传和物种多样性很高的地区。了解影响这些关键物种的遗传多样性和基因流的进化过程（Nothofagus cunninghamii，N。moorei，Acacia melanoxylon，Eucalyptus viminalis）将有助于其长期管理。
