Artificial light at night as a driver of evolutionary change. This project aims to investigate whether artificial light at night drives evolutionary change using a combination of field observations, laboratory experiments and advanced genetic techniques. This multi-disciplinary study expects to provide a significant advance in understanding of the impact of light at night for animals and will enhance our capacity to predict the outcome of future urban expansions for all species. The outcomes will have broad implications for estimating the future biodiversity and health of our urban areas and will benefit both globally and within Australia by providing much needed data regarding the likely resilience of species currently residing in our major cities.

夜间的人造灯光作为进化变化的驱动力。该项目旨在通过野外观察、实验室实验和先进的基因技术相结合的方式，研究夜间人造光是否会驱动进化变化。这项多学科的研究有望在理解夜间光照对动物的影响方面取得重大进展，并将增强我们预测未来城市扩展对所有物种的结果的能力。研究结果将对估计我们城市地区未来的生物多样性和健康产生广泛影响，并将通过提供有关目前居住在我们主要城市的物种可能的弹性的迫切需要的数据，在全球和澳大利亚国内受益。
