This Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA 10.310, supports a research project to investigate the effects of climate warming on a suite of crop-associated arthropod species. The $120,000 award, with a performance period from August 2024 to August 2026, will enable the University of California, Davis to leverage a novel ecoinformatics approach...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $570,269 to The Washington University to study the influence of urbanization on plant pathogen dynamics. Through mathematical modeling, field studies, and experiments over four years, the grantee will quantify the effects of habitat fragmentation, climate variation, and population connectivity on disease prevalence across theoretical and...
This $392,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will support research to examine the thermal tolerances, reproductive potential, and endosymbiont diversity of four key soybean stink bug species across a geographic gradient. The research aims to provide data on how these soybean pests may be impacted by increasing average temperatures due to climate...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $288,060 to Kent State University to study the effects of warming temperatures and biotic interactions on aphid populations in a Rocky Mountain ecosystem. The key objectives are to: (1) integrate the direct effects of temperature on aphid development with indirect effects driven by shifts in above- and belowground interactions, (2) assess local adaptation within plant-aphid...
This Project Grant award of $308,088 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) Competitive Grants Program supports research and outreach at Northern Arizona University to develop new integrated pest management (IPM) strategies for the invasive oystershell scale insect that threatens aspen trees in the western United States. The key objectives are to 1) describe the influence of temperature on the...
This federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, valued at $335,902.00, will support research to study the economic impacts of the invasive spotted lanternfly pest on agricultural operations and rural communities. The project will use recently available data on the spread of the spotted lanternfly across U.S. counties, along with forthcoming 2022 agricultural census data, to employ...
This $158,371 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund collaborative research on the integrated dynamics between plants and aphids mediated by above- and below-ground mutualisms in a rapidly warming Rocky Mountain ecosystem. The research aims to: Integrate the direct effects of temperature on aphid development with indirect effects driven by shifts in above- and below-ground ecological interactions. Assess...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care federal grant program (CFDA 10.025) provides $119,867 to Temple University to build predictive models of Spotted Lanternfly abundance based on plant community composition data. The goal is to provide customized reports to vineyard partners on their risk of Spotted Lanternfly infestations based on the...
This five-year, $649,977 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund research at North Carolina State University to develop an automated, repeatable process for mapping host crop species essential to forecasting the spread of invasive plant pests and pathogens. Using machine learning and publicly available imagery, the researchers will build...
This Project Grant award of $422,183 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at Southern Oregon University (SOU) to investigate how temperature and nutrient interactions affect the physiology and ecology of the migratory grasshopper, a major rangeland pest in the United States. The project aims to improve ecological forecasting and inform pest management strategies to support national food security. Through a combination of...
