Pleistocene evolutionary dynamics and past environments of Siberia: Reconstructions using luminescence dating of ancient DNA sedimentary archives

这项研究将对西伯利亚的动物-环境相互作用及其对西伯利亚生物群进化和灭绝的长期影响产生关键的新见解。这些基本问题与澳大利亚考古学、古生物学和生物地理学相关，因此我们的发现直接关系到研究这些学科的澳大利亚研究人员。这项研究将伴随着OSL测年和DNA技术的方法学进步，这将提高澳大利亚的国际科学地位，并为尖端科学研究和咨询活动中的合作倡议创造新的机会。

This study will yield critical new insights into faunal-environment interactions in Siberia and their long-term implications for the evolution and extinction of Siberia's biota. These fundamental issues are of relevance to Australian archaeology, palaeontology and biogeography, and so our discoveries are of direct interest to Australian researchers studying these disciplines. The methodological advancements in OSL dating and DNA techniques that will accompany this research will enhance Australia's international scientific standing and create new opportunities for collaborative initiatives in both cutting-edge scientific research and consulting activities.
