This project investigates the genetics of rapid evolutionary adaptation by utilising genomes sampled over unparalleled temporal and spatial scales in a highly invasive and agriculturally significant weed. This project expects to generate new knowledge about the genetic mechanisms that facilitate adaptation to climate change by developing new theory and genomic predictions, and then testing them under realistic field conditions. Expected outcomes include a deeper understanding of the genetic basis of adaptation, and a powerful framework to predict the evolutionary consequences of climate change. This should provide significant benefits, including improved capacity to anticipate the effects of climate change on noxious and threatened species.

该项目利用在高度侵入性和农业上具有重要意义的杂草中在无与伦比的时间和空间尺度上采样的基因组来研究快速进化适应的遗传学。该项目期望通过开发新的理论和基因组预测，然后在现实的现场条件下进行测试，产生有关促进适应气候变化的遗传机制的新知识。预期成果包括对适应的遗传基础有更深入的了解，以及预测气候变化进化后果的强大框架。这应该会带来显着的好处，包括提高预测气候变化对有毒和受威胁物种影响的能力。
