Description

Linking Ecology and Evolution to Protect Australian Frogs. This project will inform Australian frog conservation planning for the next 25 years. The project leverages accumulated data on Australian frogs, and adds critical new data, to link macroevolutionary patterns across all Australian species to dispersal capabilities and genetic structure of individual species. The project will identify the specific factors that are most impacting every individual Australian frog species right now and provide this same information for species that are not currently threatened but are predicted to be threatened in the future. This project is complementary to existing conservation efforts and will deliver science-driven conservation planning advice that will take future climate projections into account. . Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4104 - Environmental Management. Lead: Prof J. Scott Keogh
