- Summary
- Genetic codes do not directly translate to phenotypes -- environment acts through epigenetics to modify development. We use advanced molecular techniques to examine how epigenetics responds to temperature to reverse sex in our novel animal model, the dragon lizard. How does the cell sense temperature? Once the extrinsic signal is captured, how does it influence chromatin modification to release or suppress key genes in the sex differentiation pathway? Which sex genes are targets? Epigenetic enzymes are astonishingly conserved, providing exciting opportunities to draw from human systems to unravel novel signatures of temperature-induced sex switching in reptiles. This project will advance knowledge of developmental programming generally.

- Summary
- We live in increasingly volatile times, with human induced environmental change progressively moving from local to regional to global in scale. Climate change in particular is occurring at unprecedented rate, thought to be faster than species can respond through evolutionary processes, leading to local extinctions in areas where species are already pushing the boundaries of their physiological and ecological tolerances. These influences are particularly acute in the Australian high country where rising temperatures present increasing challenges to cold adapted species, some of which may face extirpation from their montane refugia.
The aim of this project is to examine responses of the three-lined skink to interannual climatic variation and long-term climatic trends, with special focus on the demographic implications of sex reversal on local population viability as a sensitive indicator of climatic change.

- Summary
- Sex in many reptiles, like mammals, is determined by chromosomes. In others, sex is determined by the
temperature at which their eggs are incubated. This project aims to discover for the first time in a reptile, the
master sex determining gene, to discover how that gene is differentially regulated in males and females and by
temperature, and to identify evolutionary drivers of transitions between genetic and environmental sex
determination. The model species, a dragon lizard, has chromosomal sex determination reversed by temperature,
providing a unique and tractable opportunity to examine the role of epigenetic gene regulation in sex
determination and the molecular basis for transitions between genetic and environmental sex determination.

- Summary
- Turtles are a major ecological component of the Murray-Darling, Australia’s major river system. They are declining alarmingly with potential dire consequences for water quality, biodiversity, and river health. This project unites a world- class research team with diverse industry partners, indigenous groups, and non-government organisations from three states to address a problem of national significance. This project aims to identify and quantify causes of declines in turtles along the whole system, with the aim of developing practical management options to overcome it. This will be the first river-wide study of turtles, achieved by combining cutting-edge genetic and ecological techniques with a citizen science program.

- Summary
- Understanding factors that influence genetic spatial structure of species is essential for conserving biodiversity. Movement of freshwater organisms in riverine environments is severely constrained by dendritic structure of streams, variation in aridity, and geomorphology. The project aims to test hypotheses of how these factors impact genetic patterns across east-west climatic gradients in eastern Australia. For most aquatic species, research is limited on genetic patterns across spatial scales with varying riverine dendritic structure and rarely incorporates historical data. Uncovering genetic spatial structure in aquatic ecosystems is necessary for conservation management and predicting species movements in the current changing climate.

- Summary
- The pig-nosed turtle is important to the people of the Kikori region. It is important because of the value placed on its meat and eggs for food. Many turtles and eggs are eaten in the villages where they are caught or collected. Many are sold or traded through the markets and the monies used to purchase other foods or goods. This project aims to gather strategic data on the nesting biology and harvest of the pig-nosed turtle in the Kikori to inform effective community action for conservation and for sustainable use of this important resource.

- Summary
- Invasive fishes are a major threat to native species and ecological communities, nationally and internationally. Early detection of such fishes while they are still rare is the key to preventing their establishment but is problematic using conventional sampling. We will use DNA-based methodologies in conjunction with high-throughput genomic technologies to quantitatively detect invasive aquatic species to enable more efficient management of these species. Our goal is to provide the platform for a comprehensive suite of tests for all high-risk aquatic species that threaten Australia’s biosecurity.
