Funded Activity Summary

The evolution of insect genitalia: phallic reversal in Australian praying mantids. This project will enhance our knowledge of the evolutionary processes that drive biodiversity within species and speciation itself. These issues are fundamental to evolutionary biology, and are of great interest for the general public. We have been extraordinarily successful in communicating our research to the public via natural history articles and films. We will continue to generate high impact publications from this research that will increase the international research profile of Australia in the scientific community. This project will establish international collaborations between Australia and the University of Exeter in Cornwall (UK) and provide employment and high quality training to a research associate and a research assistant.
