The space race: how dispersal and competition shape global biodiversity

该项目旨在进一步了解环境变化如何推动动植物的运动和灭绝。 该项目将使用基因组工具和一系列生物和生态系统的建模，以彻底改变分散，干扰，竞争和灭绝如何构建全球生物多样性和影响生态变化的知识。该项目的预期成果是为保护战略提供信息，并改变基本生态和进化理论的部分内容。该项目的发现将有助于澳大利亚和世界更好地管理生物多样性。

The project aims to further our understanding of how environmental change is driving the movement and extinction of plants and animals. The project will use genomic tools and modelling across a range of organisms and ecosystems to revolutionise knowledge of how dispersal, disturbance, competition and extinction structure global biodiversity and influence ecological change. An expected outcome from this project is to inform conservation strategies as well as transforming parts of fundamental ecological and evolutionary theory. The finding from this project should lead to better management of biodiversity, for both Australia and the world.
