This collaborative project addresses the need to achieve a stable classification of the eucalypts, Australia's most ecologically and commercially important trees. The industry partners are lead agencies with responsibility for classification and identification of biodiversity, delivering taxonomic knowledge for end-users. Despite molecular studies in the last decade, the phylogenetic relationships of a number of the major subgroups of the eucalypts are unknown. We will sequence new regions of DNA and combine this with morphological data to resolve the relationships of the eucalypt lineages, and hence their classification. Phylogenetic analysis also aids identification of high-value areas for conservation of relictual species.

这个合作项目解决了需要实现一个稳定的分类的桉树，澳大利亚最重要的生态和商业树木。 行业伙伴是负责生物多样性分类和鉴定的牵头机构，为最终用户提供分类知识。 尽管在过去的十年中的分子研究，一些主要亚群的真核生物的系统发育关系是未知的。 我们将对新的DNA区域进行测序，并将其与形态学数据联合收割机结合起来，以解决真核生物谱系之间的关系，从而对其进行分类。 系统发育分析还有助于确定高价值地区，以保护遗种。
