This project aims to map the sources of adaptive alleles underlying diversification is to reveal insights into the mechanisms of speciation. The source of the raw material for evolution can have significant impacts on the speed with which populations can adapt. An emerging pattern in speciation research is the importance of ancient alleles and introgressed genes, which differ in the genomic signatures left by selection. Eucalyptus offers a unique opportunity to explore these modes of evolution using the latest genomic tools. Improving our understanding of adaptation and genetic variation in woodland eucalypts is expected to make a significant contribution to their conservation, management and restoration.

该项目旨在绘制多样化背后的适应性等位基因的来源，以揭示物种形成机制的见解。进化的原材料来源可能对种群适应的速度产生重大影响。物种形成研究中的一个新兴模式是古老等位基因和渗入基因的重要性，它们在选择留下的基因组签名中有所不同。桉树提供了一个独特的机会，利用最新的基因组工具来探索这些进化模式。提高我们对林地桉树的适应性和遗传变异的理解，有望对它们的保护、管理和恢复做出重大贡献。
