How does climate change affect arid zone birds?

该项目旨在解决气候如何影响鸟类行为及其对生存和繁殖的影响。该项目将应用一套方法来探索行为生态学中也具有应用相关性的基本问题。这些数据将用于建立基于个体的模型，预测气候变化对种群动态的响应，以及可以提供物种敏感性见解的生物物理模型。预期的结果是提高对气候和人口过程之间机制联系的理解。

This project aims to address how climate affects avian behaviour and the consequences for survival and reproduction. The project will apply a suite of methods to explore fundamental questions within behavioural ecology that also have applied relevance. The data will be used for building individual-based models that predict population dynamics in response to climate change, and biophysical models that can provide insights into species sensitivities. The intended outcome is to improve understanding of the mechanistic links between climate and population processes.
