Temperatures are rising and invasive species are becoming more prevalent. This project aims to understand how climate change and hybridisation between exotic and native marine species leads to rapid adaptation. Using integrative approaches from genomics and physiology and focusing on Australian blue mussels, this proposal will test leading hypotheses about how climate change and hybridisation can enable rapid adaptation and the spread of exotic species. Outcomes will include strategies for minimising impacts of invasive mussels and boosting warm-temperature adaptation in aquaculture mussels and restored shellfish reefs. This project will yield fundamental insights into how marine species can quickly adapt to warming seas.

气温正在上升，入侵物种变得更加普遍。该项目旨在了解气候变化以及外来和本地海洋物种之间的杂交如何导致快速适应。该提案将利用基因组学和生理学的综合方法，并以澳大利亚蓝贻贝为重点，测试有关气候变化和杂交如何实现外来物种快速适应和传播的主要假设。成果将包括最大限度地减少入侵贻贝的影响、促进水产养殖贻贝的高温适应和恢复贝类珊瑚礁的策略。该项目将为海洋物种如何快速适应海洋变暖提供基本见解。
