Population Genetic Structure and Habitat Specialisation in Amphibians

Abstract

This will be the first study to uncover the initial stages of ecological speciation in a fully natural setting, which will solidify Australia's leading position in evolutionary biology. The project promotes active international collaboration and bolsters the vibrant intellectual community here at home. Many Australian undergraduate and PhD students will participate in cutting-edge science and develop connections with overseas colleagues, helping Australia maintain its prominent international reputation in the future. The work also advances knowledge and appreciation of the natural world - a more urgent objective now than ever before. Ecological information is especially critical for amphibia..
