Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used across fields as diverse as ecology, archaeology, epidemiology, and conservation biology.

Leveraging artificial intelligence and deep learning to generate proteins de novo has unlocked new frontiers of protein design. This approach can be used to design bespoke binders that target specific proteins and domains.

Plants assimilate CO2 through photosynthesis, converting it into carbohydrates that sustain growth, development and maintenance. However, a substantial portion of this fixed carbon is returned to the atmosphere via respiration, with terrestrial plants releasing 60-80 Gt C y⁻¹—a flux five times greater than annual anthropogenic CO2 emissions.

Factors controlling plant photosynthesis and primary production include parameters dictating photosynthetic activity together with export and allocation properties.

Many plant-associating fungi have a high degree of host specificity. Fungal effector proteins, which modulate plant signaling pathways to promote colonization, are hypothesized to play a role.

Mitochondrial biogenesis in plants is a complex and tightly regulated process crucial for cellular energy production, metabolic regulation, and stress responses.

Rubisco activase (Rca) is the essential molecular chaperone that regulates the activity of Rubisco, the enzyme responsible for the initial step of photosynthetic carbon assimilation and providing the primary source of organic carbon on Earth.

The majority of studies into the Australian orchid flora and associated funga have thus far been narrow in scope and focused either on a macro- or microevolutionary scale. In this thesis, I studied the Australian terrestrial orchid flora and its associated funga as a unified system spanning from the macro to microevolutionary scale.
