This project aims to reveal whether co-evolution between the mitochondrial genome of a wild bird and partner nuclear genes is causing the species to split into two forms, one adapted to inland environments and one to coastal conditions. Mitochondrial-nuclear co-evolution has great potential to illuminate new modes of climate adaptation and lineage divergence. This understanding will provide significant benefits, with implications for conservation management.

该项目旨在揭示野生鸟类的线粒体基因组和伙伴核基因之间的共同进化是否导致该物种分裂为两种形式，一种适应内陆环境，另一种适应沿海环境。线粒体-细胞核协同进化在阐明气候适应和谱系分化的新模式方面具有巨大的潜力。这种理解将提供显着的好处，与保护管理的影响。
