Beyond oceanography: behavior as a tool to uncover ocean complexity

至关重要的是，澳大利亚必须保持海洋生物学和生态学方面的世界领先地位，并通过发展跨学科综合研究项目，继续保持其海洋环境的独特性。该项目将通过对支配海洋食物网结构和功能基础的行为机制采取第一种综合办法，在国家和国际两级开辟一个新的研究领域。目前的工作还有望通过探索以前未开发的研究领域，在生物海洋学、微生物生态学、浮游生物生态学、行为生态学等领域开辟新的视角。

It is crucial that Australia remains a world leader in marine biology and ecology and continues to preserve the uniqueness of its marine environment through the development of integrated inter-disciplinary research projects. This project will open a new area of research at both the national and international levels through the first integrated approach of the behavioural mechanisms that rule the base of the ocean food web structures and functions. The present work is also expected to open new perspectives in fields such as biological oceanography, microbial ecology, plankton ecology, behavioural ecology through the exploration of previously untapped areas of research.
