Climate change and phenotypic divergence at a landscape scale

鸟类在澳大利亚提供关键的生态系统功能，如授粉，昆虫控制和种子传播。气候变化是有据可查的，对鸟类有明显的影响，通常会导致范围的变化。这项研究将量化模式的基因流在景观尺度下降和常见的鸟类在澳大利亚和国外。该项目建立在与加拉帕戈斯群岛的强有力的国际联系以及对南澳的区域关注的基础上。联系组织致力于落实本地植物群和动物群的管理成果，这些成果需要以高质量的基线数据为基础。研究结果还将为该州和澳大利亚的气候建模提供信息。

Birds provide key ecosystem functions like pollination, insect control, and seed dispersal in Australia. Climate change is well documented and has a pronounced effect on birds, commonly leading to range shifts. This study will quantify patterns of gene flow at a landscape scale in declining and common birds in Australia and abroad. The project builds on strong international links to the Galapagos Islands as well as a regional focus for South Australia. The linkage organisations are committed to implementing management outcomes for native flora and fauna, which need to be underpinned with quality baseline data. The outcomes will also inform climate modelling for the State and Australia.
