The Maintenance of Genetic Variation by Antagonistic Sexual Selection

我提出的研究的主要成果是基础知识，培养年轻科学家和提高澳大利亚的研究能力和形象。我的研究将对进化生物学中很少整合的两个主要分支——性选择和数量遗传学——产生重大影响。我的研究将使我成为一名独立的研究者。此外，我与英国领先的研究实验室之一的合作将教会我一些现代技术，我可以传播给参与拟议项目的澳大利亚学生。

The principle outcomes of my proposed research are fundamental knowledge, training of young scientists and the improvement of Australia's research capacity and profile. My research will have a major impact on two major branches of evolutionary biology that are seldom integrated - sexual selection and quantitative genetics. My research will enable me to establish myself as an independent researcher. Moreover, my collaborations with one of the leading research laboratories in the UK, will teach me several modern techniques that I can disseminate to Australian students participating on the proposed project.
