Grant Activity:
The biodiversity consequences of evolutionary innovation
Purpose:
This project aims to increase knowledge of how evolutionary innovations affect biodiversity. This project will focus on a classic example of evolutionary innovation, the specialized throat jaws found in many fish groups, including damselfishes, wrasses, and cichlids. These unique jaws may explain why these fish groups contain so many species and are such successful invasive species in Australia and elsewhere. This project proposes an integrative combination of methods and functional experiments to reveal the biodiversity consequences of evolutionary innovation. It will also enhance Australian biosecurity through the production of new ways to assess invasion risk from aquaculture and aquarium trade species.
