Life history responses to habitat heterogeneity and implications for conservation

这一令人兴奋的新研究项目将为动物如何应对和适应环境变化提供新的理解。这将填补生态学理论和现实世界种群之间的一个关键鸿沟，并引发我们如何看待环境和居住在环境中的物种之间关系的重大转变。像林业这样的自然资源利用做法很少被认为与生物多样性保护相一致。这项研究将提供实地管理建议，将这些土地的使用与保护相结合，从而为澳大利亚社区提供经济和保护两方面的好处。

This exciting new research project will provide a novel understanding of how animals respond and adapt to environmental variation. This will fill a critical gap between ecological theory and real-world populations and initiate a major shift in how we view the relationship between environments and the species that inhabit them. Natural resource use practices like forestry are rarely considered compatible with biodiversity conservation. This research will provide on-the-ground management recommendations to integrate such land uses with conservation, thereby providing both economic and conservation benefits to the Australian community.
