Title: Sex in Dragons -- genetics, epigenetics and environment.
Investigators: Georges, A., Deakin, J., Sarre, S.D., Ezaz, T., Waters, P., Schwanz, L., Graves, JAM, and Holleley, C.
Program: Genetics & Genomics
Class: Competitive, National
Year(s): 2017 - 2020
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.

Title: Extinction of turtles in the River Murray: Consequences and Solutions.
Investigators: Spencer, R-J, Thompson, MB, Georges, A, Chessman, BC, Clemann, N, Joachim, L, Gibson, T, Bradshaw, S; Broster, T and Saunders, M.
Program: Conservation Ecology
Class: Competitive, National
Year(s): 2014 - 2017
Summary: Turtles are a major ecological component of the Murray-Darling, AustraliaвЂ™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.

Title: Drivers of fine scale genetic spatial structuring in aquatic organisms.
Investigators: Unmack, PJ, Gruber, BM, White, DA, Georges, A and Kilian, A
Program: Conservation Ecology
Class: Competitive, National
Year(s): 2014 - 2017
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.

Title: The Piku Project: Community-led Conservation. The Pig-nosed Turtle Carettochelys insculpta.
Investigators: Georges, A., Carla Eisemberg, Lynch, J.
Program: Conservation Ecology
Class: Industry, International
Year(s): 2013 - 2015
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.

Title: New eDNA surveillance for multiple high risk invasive fish
Investigators: Dianne Gleeson, Elise Furlan, Arthur Georges, Stephen Sarre, Tariq Ezaz, Mark Lintermans, Chris Hardy (CSIRO)
Program: Water Science
Class: Government, National
Year(s): 2012 - 2017
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 AustraliaвЂ™s biosecurity.
