The project aims to resolve the mechanisms that generate spatial variation in biological traits. This project expects to overcome several significant shortcomings of previous investigations by using mechanistic modelling, field-based ecophysiological studies, and macroecological analyses to develop a single, integrated approach to investigating geographic variation in size, colour, life history and reproduction. The expected outcomes are a comprehensive empirical test of a unified mechanism for spatial trait variation, using a diverse terrestrial vertebrate lineage as a model system. The results of this study should provide a powerful framework for predicting future patterns of biological trait variation under anthropogenic climate change.

该项目旨在解决产生生物特征空间变异的机制。该项目预计将克服以往调查的几个重大缺陷，通过使用机械建模，实地生态生理学研究和宏观生态分析，开发一个单一的，综合的方法来调查地理变化的大小，颜色，生活史和繁殖。预期的结果是一个全面的空间性状变异的统一机制的实证检验，使用不同的陆生脊椎动物谱系作为模型系统。这项研究的结果应该提供一个强有力的框架，预测未来的模式下，人为气候变化的生物性状的变化。
