Funded Activity Summary

The chemical, biochemical, genetic and ecological basis of pollinator-driven speciation in Australian sexually deceptive orchids. The Australian biota offers unique opportunities for illuminating ecological and evolutionary processes of worldwide importance. Focussing on Australian sexually deceptive orchids, this study offers a model system for studies of plant speciation that has already captured the interest of the public, educators and scientists around the world. The project will produce multiple graduate students with high quality, cross-disciplinary training. Expertise and tools developed will contribute directly to the conservation of endangered Australian orchids. Thus the knowledge obtained from this research will have immediate practical benefits for the sustainable use of Australia's biodiversity.
