Coral resilience and the optimal management of biodiversity

该项目旨在研究珊瑚生物多样性对干扰的适应能力，并利用最近开发的基因组资源探索赋予耐热性的基因型特征。该项目将研究珊瑚生物多样性如何应对气候扰动;适应和适应的潜力;以及监测、管理和恢复生物多样性的最佳方式。该项目预计将产生切实的成果和战略，以优化澳大利亚珊瑚生物多样性的管理，同时通过与政府、监管部门和行业团体合作，以博物馆为基础的外联活动吸引公众参与。

This project aims to examine the resilience of coral biodiversity to disturbances and build on recently developed genomic resources to explore the genotypic traits that confer thermal tolerance. The project will research how coral biodiversity responds to climatic disturbances; the potential for acclimation and adaptation; and the best ways to monitor, manage and restore biodiversity. The project is expected to generate tangible outcomes and strategies to optimise the management of Australia’s coral biodiversity while engaging the public through museum-based outreach, in collaboration with government, regulatory sectors and an industry group.
