Integrating genomics into native fish management to promote persistence

该项目旨在以本地鱼类为案例研究，改进环境变化对野生动物长期生存影响的预测。通过将基因组学整合到生物多样性模型中，该项目有望产生支持长期生存的过程的基本知识，并且是传统生物多样性模型的一大进步，传统生物多样性模型只考虑发生或丰度。预期成果包括深入了解鱼类对环境条件的反应和预测野生动物长期生存的新工具。这些工具将指导墨累-达令盆地以具有成本效益的方式提供环境用水，更广泛的采用将促进许多物种保护工作的长期有效性。

This project aims to improve predictions of the effects of environmental change on the long-term survival of wildlife, using native fish as a case study. By integrating genomics into biodiversity models, this project expects to generate fundamental knowledge of processes underpinning long-term survival and is a big advance on traditional biodiversity models that consider only occurrence or abundance. Expected outcomes include insights into fish responses to environmental conditions and new tools to predict long-term survival of wildlife. These tools will guide cost-effective delivery of environmental water in the Murray-Darling Basin, and wider uptake should promote the long-term effectiveness of conservation efforts for many species.
