Funded Activity Summary

Using evolutionary theory to advance reproductive technologies. This project aims to address the global biodiversity crisis by incorporating evolutionary theory into the study of reproductive technologies. With 41% of amphibian species now threatened with extinction, this project expects to revolutionise the field, enhancing the propagation and genetic management of threatened amphibians. Specifically, incorporating evolutionary theory into the study of amphibian reproductive technologies will increase our capacity to predict spermiation responses and identify parental-genetic incompatibilities that may compromise offspring viability. Ultimately, this novel approach will provide significant benefits by fast-tracking the development of reproductive technologies for threatened species recovery.
