Funded Activity Summary

Exposing genetic quality: whole-organism performance and life-history trade-offs under genetic and phenotypic stress in the field cricket Teleogryllus commodus. This project will provide fundamental knowledge by answering several important evolutionary questions concerning the relationship between performance and reproductive fitness, and in doing so will pave the way for future integration between traditionally separate disciplines. If funded, the project will enhance Australia's reputation for integrative evolutionary research, and will contribute to the training of young scientists in this and related areas. Finally, the proposed work will provide important information to conservationists and animal breeders on the potential effects of inbreeding, and on factors affecting the spread of invasive species.
