Two of Australia's most iconic ecosystems have recently sustained heavy damage related to climatic changes: the extensive eucalypt forests from catastrophic bushfires and the Great Barrier Reef from mass coral bleaching. Despite obvious differences, eucalypt trees and reef corals share some similarities in biology and ecology, particularly in relation to climate change impacts and adaptation. Both groups are the focus of an increasing research effort to characterize and respond to climate changes and here we examine how sharing research experiences can benefit both fields. Four key areas of research are considered: (a) modeling current distributions, (b) assessing impacts of climate change on future distributions, (c) using human‐assisted migration to improve survival, and (d) applying genetic enhancement to improve the species’ survival. Examples of each research area are used to examine potential crossovers, limitations of the methods, and future requirements. We conclude that eucalypt and coral researchers, and indeed researchers for many other endangered taxa, can gain much by comparing experiences and methods, despite the apparent differences in their respective taxa.

气候变化对澳大利亚桉树和珊瑚物种的影响：跨学科比较和共享知识

澳大利亚两个最具标志性的生态系统最近遭受了与气候变化有关的严重破坏：灾难性森林大火造成的桉树林茂密，珊瑚大规模漂白造成的大堡礁。尽管有明显的差异，桉树和礁石珊瑚在生物学和生态学上有一些相似之处，特别是在气候变化影响和适应方面。两组都是日益增多的研究工作的重点，以表征和应对气候变化，在这里我们研究共享研究经验如何使两个领域受益。考虑了四个关键的研究领域：（a）对当前分布进行建模，（b）评估气候变化对未来分布的影响，（c）使用人类协助的迁徙来改善生存，以及（d）应用遗传增强来改善物种生存。每个研究领域的示例均用于检查潜在的交叉，方法的局限性和未来需求。我们得出的结论是，尽管桉树和珊瑚的研究人员，甚至许多其他濒危生物分类的研究人员，通过比较经验和方法，尽管各自的生物分类上存在明显差异，但仍可以从中获益匪浅。
