Funded Activity Summary

Mutual sexual selection and sperm competition in the black swan. The proposed research is curiosity-driven and therefore its main benefit is in enhancing our understanding of the evolutionary processes that shape our natural environment. The proliferation of 'natural history' television programmes, magazines and books demonstrates the very substantial national interest in these topics. The Black Swan is a well-known bird of particular public affection. Its status as a national iconic symbol has been reflected in the degree of local and general community interest and involvement in our research in Ballarat to date.
