Funded Activity Summary

Endocrine disruption in wildlife: a sexual selection perspective . The Project aims to uncover how environmental pollution by hormone-mimicking chemicals affects wildlife behaviour, reproductive performance, and offspring viability. Through an integrative approach that combines multigenerational laboratory studies with an experimental evolution perspective, the Project expects to yield important insights into the pervasive influence of chemical contaminants on biological systems, and the capacity for animals to adapt to environments degraded by human activity. Findings will enable predictions of the ecological and evolutionary consequences of anthropogenic change, and contribute new knowledge relevant to the management of Australia’s biodiversity and the security of its sensitive freshwater resources.
