Phenotypic and adaptive responses to environmental change

该项目旨在通过评估一个模式物种的适应性反应来研究环境变化如何影响珊瑚礁鱼类。该项目希望通过新颖的实验设计，在代内和代间产生适应性和可塑性之间相互作用的新知识。预期结果包括改进鱼类适应和适应环境变化的模型，增强证据基础，为管理部门提供累积影响的信息。这将为依靠鱼类获得营养、经济和/或社会价值的澳大利亚和国际社会带来重大利益。

This project aims to investigate how environmental change will effect coral reef fish by assessing adaptive responses in a model species. This project expects to generate new knowledge on the interplay between adaption and plasticity both within and across generations using novel experimental designs. Expected outcomes include improved models of fish acclimation and adaptation to environmental change and an enhanced evidence base to inform the management of cumulative impacts. This will provide significant benefits to Australian and international communities that rely on fish for nutrition, economic and/or social value.
