Grant Activity:
Genomics of extinction and isolation on Australian island arks
Purpose:
This project aims to measure the genetic health of key populations of threatened Australian mammals. With the highest rate of extinction in the world and over 30% of surviving species under immediate threat, Australian mammals require urgent focus to secure their future. This project focuses on island populations, which are increasingly used as sources to rewild mainland Australia. Using cutting-edge genomic tools, this project plans to determine the extent and nature of genetic variation, including harmful mutations, on islands and in declining mainland populations. The anticipated outcome is to understand how genetic factors contribute to extinction, to improve conservation strategies for threatened species.
