Australia is a leading nation in the field of evolutionary biology. This is in part due to the diverse and often bizarre plants and animals found on this continent. Our preliminary work on the Australian Zeus bug yielded exciting and fascinating results that created considerable national and international interest within the biological community and among the general population. The proposed project is likely to attract similar attention; will contribute to undergraduate research training and will ensure that Australia maintains its high profile and international reputation in the future.

澳大利亚是进化生物学领域的领先国家。部分原因是这片大陆上发现了多种多样且常常奇异的植物和动物。我们对澳大利亚宙斯虫的初步研究取得了令人兴奋和引人入胜的结果，在生物界和普通大众中引起了巨大的国内和国际兴趣。拟议的项目可能会引起类似的关注；将为本科生研究培训做出贡献，并将确保澳大利亚在未来保持其高知名度和国际声誉。
