This project aims to investigate how bacteria can assist wildlife in adapting to the accelerating threat of environmental change. Using an innovative, interdisciplinary approach this project expects to identify interactions between environmental change and the diet, microbial communities and stress resilience of wildlife, using the threatened Grey-headed flying fox as a model system. Expected outcomes include detailed understanding of the role of microbial communities in shaping wildlife adaptations and development of ecological interventions to enhance wildlife resilience in Australia and globally. Such outcomes may reveal opportunities for management strategies that safeguard threatened species and reduce human-wildlife conflicts.

该项目旨在研究细菌如何帮助野生动物适应环境变化的加速威胁。该项目采用创新的跨学科方法，以濒危的灰头狐为模型系统，旨在确定环境变化与野生动物的饮食、微生物群落和应激恢复能力之间的相互作用。预期结果包括详细了解微生物群落在塑造野生动物适应和发展生态干预措施方面的作用，以增强澳大利亚和全球野生动物的复原力。这些结果可能为保护濒危物种和减少人类与野生动物冲突的管理策略提供机会。
