Genomes on islands: Improving management of Australia's threatened mammals

该项目旨在通过将基因组和形态变异的数据与保护易位的结果相结合来改善濒危哺乳动物的管理。利用新的基因组学方法，该项目将在灭绝、残留和易位种群中测量小种群规模对遗传多样性和突变负荷的影响。该项目将监测七种管理严密的有袋类物种，以更好地了解如何为动物恢复项目混合种群。该项目应该改进方法，以促进澳大利亚和全球的物种恢复。

This project aims to improve the management of endangered mammals by combining data on genomic and morphological variation with results from conservation translocations. Using new genomics methods, the project will measure the effects of small population size on genetic diversity and mutation load, in extinct as well as remnant and translocated populations. The project will monitor seven intensively managed marsupial species to better understand how to mix populations for fauna restoration projects. This project should improve methods to promote species recovery in Australia and globally.
