This project aims to determine whether epigenetic mechanisms confer resilience to environmental change in natural populations. Understanding epigenetic mechanisms is significant because they can mediate compensatory responses by animals to rapid environmental change. This project intends to link molecular changes to ecological outcomes to determine rapid remodeling of phenotypes to maintain fitness in variable environments. The project would benefit Australia’s research capacity and training, and the efficacy of conserving our natural environment.

该项目旨在确定表观遗传机制是否赋予自然种群对环境变化的适应能力。理解表观遗传机制具有重要意义，因为它们可以调节动物对快速环境变化的补偿反应。该项目旨在将分子变化与生态结果联系起来，以确定表型的快速重塑，以保持在不同环境中的适应性。该项目将有利于澳大利亚的研究能力和培训，以及保护我们自然环境的有效性。
