We will combine ecological and phylogenetic analysis of Australian vertebrates to show how abundance and geographic range in living species has been shaped by the historical processes of speciation, transformations of range and abundance in relation to species age, and selective extinction. Our analysis will throw new light on the processes that have generated species diversity in Australian vertebrates. We will also gain new understanding of the causes of rarity and vulnerability to extinction among living species, which will result in better identification and management of species at risk of extinction.

我们将结合联合收割机的生态和系统发育分析澳大利亚脊椎动物，以显示如何丰富和地理范围的活物种已形成的历史过程中的物种形成，范围和丰富的物种年龄，和选择性灭绝的转变。我们的分析将为澳大利亚脊椎动物物种多样性的产生过程提供新的线索。我们还将对现存物种稀少和易灭绝的原因有新的认识，这将导致更好地识别和管理濒临灭绝的物种。
