This project aims to improve knowledge of extinction processes and impacts. It will use high-performance computing and museum collections to disentangle the ecological mechanisms that were integral in the initial decline and later extinction of Australia's unique mammals. Its significance is that it will establish the historical ranges and past population trajectories of Australian threatened mammals, pinpointing the combinations of ecological characteristics and threats that most affect risk of extinction from environmental change. Expected outcomes and benefits are new data and verified models to enrich conservation research and inform evidence-based solutions to better protect and recover some of Australia’s most threatened species.

该项目旨在提高对灭绝过程和影响的了解，它将利用高性能计算和博物馆藏品来解开澳大利亚独特哺乳动物最初衰退和后来灭绝的生态机制。澳大利亚受威胁哺乳动物的历史范围和过去的种群轨迹，查明对环境变化造成的灭绝风险影响最大的生态特征和威胁的组合，预期的结果和好处是新的数据和经过验证的模型，以丰富保护研究并为基于证据的解决方案提供信息。更好地保护并恢复澳大利亚一些最受威胁的物种。
