Maternal effects and sex allocation: an integrated approach

该项目将结合进化和生态学的多个关键领域，产生高水平的国际研究。我们组建的团队在澳大利亚的研究人员和海外领先的理论家之间建立了联系，促进了澳大利亚独特动物群的进化理论和实证研究之间的整合。此外，虽然气候变化被确定为优先研究领域，但澳大利亚通常缺乏了解气候变化影响所需的长期物候监测历史。这个项目朝着解决这个缺点迈出了重要的一步。

This project will produce research of a high international standard combining a number of key fields in evolution and ecology. The team we have assembled provides a link between Australian-based researchers and leading overseas theoreticians facilitating integration between evolutionary theory and empirical research on the unique Australian fauna. Furthermore, while climate change is identified as a priority area for research, Australia typically lacks the history of long-term phenological monitoring that is required to understand climate change impacts. This project takes an important step towards addressing this shortcoming.
