Integration of information from multiple disciplines is vital to answering questions like 'What governs distribution of evolutionary lineages in Australia? How and why did distributions change in the past? How might distributions change in the future?' We will develop a comprehensive network bringing together experts in geochronology, geomorphology, climatology, biogeography, palaeobiology, functional anatomy and physiology, phylogenetics, biodiversity assessment, ecosystem dynamics, and population biology and modeling. This network will provide deeper understanding of and more accurate and influential management advice for Australia's biotic resources. The public outreach program to be developed will be significant given the high profile of many participants.

整合来自多个学科的信息对于回答诸如“什么支配着澳大利亚进化谱系的分布？”过去的分布是如何变化的，为什么会变化？分布在未来会发生怎样的变化？“我们将建立一个全面的网络，汇集地质年代学、地貌学、气候学、地理学、古生物学、功能解剖学和生理学、生物遗传学、生物多样性评估、生态系统动力学以及种群生物学和建模方面的专家。 该网络将为澳大利亚的生物资源提供更深入的了解和更准确、更有影响力的管理建议。 鉴于许多参与者的知名度很高，将制定的公共外联方案将具有重要意义。
