This project aims to understand how environmental sensitivity in growth, survival and reproduction of individuals in a population influence population dynamics using terrestrial ectotherms. It will provide significant new insights into whether phenotypic plasticity promotes population persistence in the face of environmental change. Expected outcomes include approaches for incorporating environmental effects in population models for threatened species, open databases that can be used to estimate demographic information for species lacking data, and an assessment of what characteristics make some species more sensitive to the environment than others. Benefits include quantitative training and tools for managing Australia's rich biodiversity.

该项目旨在利用陆地变温动物来了解种群中个体生长、生存和繁殖的环境敏感性如何影响种群动态。它将为研究表型可塑性是否促进种群在环境变化时的持久性提供重要的新见解。预期成果包括将环境影响纳入受威胁物种种群模型的方法、可用于估计缺乏数据的物种的人口统计信息的开放数据库，以及评估哪些特征使某些物种比其他物种对环境更敏感。好处包括管理澳大利亚丰富的生物多样性的定量培训和工具。
