This project aims to address the global biodiversity crisis by incorporating evolutionary theory into the study of reproductive technologies. With 41% of amphibian species now threatened with extinction, this project expects to revolutionise the field, enhancing the propagation and genetic management of threatened amphibians. Specifically, incorporating evolutionary theory into the study of amphibian reproductive technologies will increase our capacity to predict spermiation responses and identify parental-genetic incompatibilities that may compromise offspring viability. Ultimately, this novel approach will provide significant benefits by fast-tracking the development of reproductive technologies for threatened species recovery.

该项目旨在通过将进化理论纳入生殖技术的研究来解决全球生物多样性危机。由于41%的两栖动物物种现在面临灭绝的威胁，该项目预计将彻底改变该领域，加强受威胁两栖动物的繁殖和遗传管理。具体而言，将进化理论纳入两栖动物生殖技术的研究将提高我们预测精子反应的能力，并确定可能危及后代生存能力的父母遗传不相容性。最终，这种新方法将通过快速跟踪生殖技术的发展来提供显着的好处，以恢复受威胁的物种。
