This project aims to improve the management of endangered mammals by combining data on genomic and morphological variation with results from conservation translocations. Using new genomics methods, the project will measure the effects of small population size on genetic diversity and mutation load, in extinct as well as remnant and translocated populations. The project will monitor seven intensively managed marsupial species to better understand how to mix populations for fauna restoration projects. This project should improve methods to promote species recovery in Australia and globally.

该项目旨在通过将基因组和形态变异数据与保护易位结果相结合，改善对濒危哺乳动物的管理。利用新的基因组学方法，该项目将测量小种群规模对灭绝以及残余和易位种群的遗传多样性和突变负荷的影响。该项目将监测七种集中管理的有袋动物物种，以更好地了解如何为动物群恢复项目混合种群。该项目将改进促进澳大利亚和全球物种恢复的方法。
