Funded Activity Summary
Above and below-ground specialisation in Australian orchids and its implications for diversification and vulnerability. Many of Australia's unique terrestrial orchids may face heightened extinction risk because of their obligate dependence on pollinators and fungi. This project will investigate the consequences of these interactions for orchid speciation and vulnerability. The outcomes will inform both evolutionary theory and future conservation programs.Funded Activity Details
