ARC Research Network for Understanding and Managing Australian Biodiversity

澳大利亚的生物多样性研究很强大，但高度不协调，随着最近在理论和技术上的重大突破，突出了建立一个网络来适当整合研究并将其集中在最适当的规模上的必要性。该网络旨在将经验丰富的不同领域的早期职业研究人员聚集在一起，汇集他们的想法和专业知识，使他们能够确定如何最好地描述澳大利亚当前的生物多样性以及导致当前的生物和环境历史。一个重要的成果将是预测环境变化对生物多样性的影响的能力，以协助整个澳大利亚的管理决策，具有全球重要性的经验教训。

Biodiversity research is strong in Australia but is highly uncoordinated and, along with recent major breakthroughs in both theory and techniques, has highlighted the need for a Network to properly integrate research and focus it on the most appropriate scale. This Network aims to bring together a diverse spectrum of highly experienced and early career researchers to pool their ideas and expertise to allow them to determine how best to describe Australia's current biodiversity and the biological and environmental history leading up to the present. A major outcome will be the ability to predict the impacts of environmental change on biodiversity to assist management decisions across Australia, with lessons of global importance.
