Biological diversification across Australia in space and time

该项目旨在解决有关澳大利亚物种多样化的根本问题，并取得实际和有影响力的成果。它将利用ARC以前资助的关于澳大利亚爬行动物和两栖动物系统基因组学的研究，并应用复杂的分析工具在多个维度和系统发生的背景下量化和评估生物多样性。预期的结果包括一个公众可访问的全面数据库，该数据库将与生活在澳大利亚的地图集整合，并严格测试一系列假说，这些假说涉及澳大利亚的古老和最近群体是如何进化来应对生物入侵和气候变化的。

This project aims to address fundamental questions about the diversification of Australian species and to have practical and impactful outcomes. It will leverage previous ARC funded research on the phylogenomics of Australian reptiles and amphibians and apply sophisticated analytical tools for quantifying and evaluating biological diversity in multiple dimensions and in a phylogenetic context. The expected outcomes include a publicly accessible comprehensive database that will be integrated with the Atlas of Living Australia and rigorous testing of a series of hypotheses concerning how old and recent Australian groups evolved in response to biotic invasions and climate change.
