Funded Activity Summary

Understanding responses to climate change: a mechanistic approach integrating functional genetics, physiology and biophysical models for the Common brown butterfly. We will dissect the interaction between an Australian butterfly and changing climate. This will make significant contributions to the national research priorities Responding to climate change and variability and Sustainable use of Australia's biodiversity. We will address the known deficits in standard approaches to predicting futures for biota. We will provide an Australian species in which the mechanisms of response to climate change are understood in detail. Our outputs will be directly applicable to other butterflies: 19 threatened taxa in Australia. The novelty of our approach will be of marked international interest, and will train Australian researchers in a new way of predicting biological impacts of climate change.
