Sex is important in adaptation to environmental change

目的：本项目将使用新颖的实验，目的是确定可塑性适应性选择的潜力，以及通过建立基因组机制，非遗传效应如何在代际间转移。意义：在面对快速的气候变化时，可塑性（或适应性）经常被誉为物种的救星，但如果它在自然界中不具有适应性，那么它就有问题了。预期结果：预期结果包括提高预测鱼类在环境变化下的适应能力。效益：该项目将通过改进的证据基础为管理提供信息，为依靠鱼类获得营养、经济和社会价值的澳大利亚和国际社会带来重大效益。

Aims: This project will use novel experiments with the aim of determining the potential for plasticity to be adaptive with sexual selection and how non-genetic effects transfer across generations by establishing genomic mechanisms. Significance: Plasticity (or acclimation) is often hailed as the saviour for species in the face of rapid climate change, but it is problematic if it is not adaptive in nature. Expected outcomes: Expected outcomes include an enhanced ability to predict adaptation of fish under environmental change. Benefits: This project will provide significant benefits to Australian and international communities that rely on fish for nutrition, economic and social values, through an improved evidence base to inform management.
