This project aims to dissect the ecological and evolutionary processes causing a decline in an iconic Australian bird species. Studies that can properly test explanations for declines in wild populations are rare. This project aims to test how environmental and genetic processes shape individual traits, how these traits determine fitness and how changes in individual fitness affect population dynamics. The project expects to provide essential information for the improved management of Australian bird populations, and for understanding the effects of environmental change on natural systems globally.

该项目旨在剖析导致澳大利亚一种标志性鸟类数量下降的生态和进化过程。能够正确检验野生种群数量下降原因的研究很少。该项目旨在测试环境和遗传过程如何塑造个体特征，这些特征如何决定适应度以及个体适应度的变化如何影响种群动态。该项目希望为改善澳大利亚鸟类种群的管理提供必要的信息，并了解环境变化对全球自然系统的影响。
