This application aims to investigates the basis of the fin-to-limb transition, an event that set the stage for the entire tetrapod radiation. This project expects to generate new knowledge concerning the natural history of vertebrates using a multidisciplinary approach that combines paleontology and embryology of unique Australian fauna. While the skeletal changes associated with the move from water to land have been investigated, little is known about the origin of tetrapod limb muscles. This proposal has as an expected outcome, a determination of how limb muscles arose during evolution. This knowledge should provide significant benefits by transforming our understanding of the origins of the tetrapod body plan and our own natural history.

该应用旨在研究鳍到肢过渡的基础，这一事件为整个四足动物辐射奠定了基础。该项目期望通过结合澳大利亚独特动物群的古生物学和胚胎学的多学科方法，产生有关脊椎动物自然历史的新知识。虽然已经研究了与从水到陆地的移动相关的骨骼变化，但人们对四足动物肢体肌肉的起源知之甚少。该提议的预期结果是确定肢体肌肉在进化过程中是如何产生的。这些知识应该通过改变我们对四足动物身体结构起源和我们自己的自然历史的理解来提供显着的好处。
