Funded Activity Summary

How the visual environment affects the diversity of avian colours and why this matters. Evolutionary theory predicts that (a) animal colours are optimised to perform best in their native environment and hence that (b) environmental degradation can disrupt the function of animal colours in communication or camouflage. This project will test these predictions for Australian birds and use the outcome to inform environmental restoration programs.
