This project aims to improve knowledge of extinction processes and impacts. It will use high-performance computing and museum collections to disentangle the ecological mechanisms that were integral in the initial decline and later extinction of Australia's unique mammals. Its significance is that it will establish the historical ranges and past population trajectories of Australian threatened mammals, pinpointing the combinations of ecological characteristics and threats that most affect risk of extinction from environmental change. Expected outcomes and benefits are new data and verified models to enrich conservation research and inform evidence-based solutions to better protect and recover some of Australia’s most threatened species.

该项目旨在提高扩展过程和影响的知识。它将使用高性能计算和博物馆集合来解散在最初衰落和后来扩展澳大利亚独特哺乳动物中不可或缺的生态机制。它的意义是，它将建立澳大利亚威胁性哺乳动物的历史范围和过去的人口轨迹，并确定生态特征和威胁的组合最大，最大程度地影响着环境变化的延伸风险。预期的结果和收益是新的数据和经过验证的模型，以丰富保护研究并为基于证据的解决方案提供信息，以更好地保护和恢复澳大利亚一些最受威胁的物种。
