This project aims to quantify how native bird populations will respond to global warming. The project will investigate how vulnerable nestling birds are to high temperatures, and the impact of early-life heat stress on adult performance and fitness in the wild. Although growing animals are most sensitive to heat, and stress during early-life often has irreversible negative effects, we know very little about long-term consequences of early-life heat stress. The intended outcomes will increase our capacity to predict impacts of climate warming before population declines become evident. Improved predictions are beneficial to identify urgent threats and optimise conservation efforts.

该项目旨在量化本地鸟类种群将如何应对全球变暖。该项目将调查雏鸟对高温的脆弱程度，以及早期热应激对成年鸟类表现和野外健康的影响。尽管生长中的动物对热最敏感，并且生命早期的压力往往会产生不可逆转的负面影响，但我们对生命早期热应激的长期后果知之甚少。预期的结果将提高我们在人口明显下降之前预测气候变暖影响的能力。改进的预测有利于识别紧急威胁并优化保护工作。
