夜间的人造光是进化的驱动力。该项目旨在研究夜间人造光是否会通过实地观察、实验室实验和先进的遗传技术相结合来驱动进化变化。这项多学科的研究预计将在了解夜间光线对动物的影响方面取得重大进展，并将提高我们预测所有物种未来城市扩张结果的能力。这些结果将对估计我们城市地区未来的生物多样性和健康产生广泛的影响，并将通过提供有关目前居住在我们主要城市的物种的可能恢复能力的急需数据，使全球和澳大利亚国内受益。

Artificial light at night as a driver of evolutionary change. This project aims to investigate whether artificial light at night drives evolutionary change using a combination of field observations, laboratory experiments and advanced genetic techniques. This multi-disciplinary study expects to provide a significant advance in understanding of the impact of light at night for animals and will enhance our capacity to predict the outcome of future urban expansions for all species. The outcomes will have broad implications for estimating the future biodiversity and health of our urban areas and will benefit both globally and within Australia by providing much needed data regarding the likely resilience of species currently residing in our major cities.
