Animal movement between populations deduced from family trees - a test case on dugongs in southern Queensland.

该项目响应国家研究优先事项，开发新的方法，协助管理和保护澳大利亚和世界各地的海洋和陆地生物多样性。它符合澳大利亚社区和我们的行业合作伙伴的要求，为长期使用生态系统产品和服务的计划做出贡献，从渔业到生态旅游。研究结果将提供澳大利亚东海岸保护区之间儒艮活动的数据。这些信息目前无法获得，但对于这种具有文化和生态意义的哺乳动物的持久安全来说是不可或缺的。

This project responds to a national research priority by developing new methodology that will assist with the management and protection marine and terrestrial biodiversity in Australia and worldwide. It aligns with the requirements of the Australian community and our industry partners by contributing to plans for the long-term use of ecosystem goods and services, ranging from fisheries to ecotourism. The outcomes will provide data on dugong movements between protected areas on the eastern Australian coast. This information is currently unattainable but is indispensable for the lasting security of this culturally and ecologically significant mammal.
