Comparative phylogeography and patterns of diversification in Amazonian fishes

我预计，该项目将通过回答关于世界上最多样化的生态系统-亚马逊河流域中部的低地森林-生物多样性起源的基本问题，提高澳大利亚在国际科学界的研究形象。这将通过分析有史以来最全面的亚马逊生物地理数据集来实现。该项目将提供与澳大利亚潮湿热带地区模式进行比较的信息，并将对澳大利亚鱼类种群多样性的研究产生启发。

I anticipate that this project will increase the research profile of Australia in the international scientific community by answering fundamental questions about the origin of biodiversity in the world's most diverse ecosystem, the lowland forests of central Amazonia. This will be achieved by analysing what will be the most comprehensive phylogeographic data set ever generated for Amazonian organisms. The project will provide information for comparing with patterns seen in the Australian wet tropics and will be inspirational for studies on population diversification of Australian fishes.
