This project aims to use a traits-based modelling framework, incorporating variability both within and between species, to forecast the resilience of freshwater fishes in northern Australia to impending environmental change. While northern Australian rivers are among the most pristine and productive on earth, they face profound change due to human activity. Emerging evidence suggests that flexibility in functional traits (e.g. life history, physiology, behaviour, diet) may result in resilience to environmental change. This project aims to provide decision-makers with essential information and new tools to underpin future planning and resource management.

该项目旨在使用一个基于特征的建模框架，将物种内部和物种之间的变异性结合起来，预测澳大利亚北方淡水鱼对即将发生的环境变化的适应能力。虽然澳大利亚北方的河流是地球上最原始和最多产的河流之一，但由于人类活动，它们面临着深刻的变化。新出现的证据表明，功能特征（如生活史、生理、行为、饮食）的灵活性可能导致对环境变化的适应能力。该项目旨在为决策者提供基本信息和新工具，以支持未来的规划和资源管理。
