The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $708,509 Project Grant to Bigelow Laboratory For Ocean Sciences for research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: DYNAMIC SIMILARITY OR SIZE PROPORTIONALITY? SENSORY ECOLOGICAL ADAPTATIONS OF EUCHAETA TO VISCOSITY." The award period runs from August 15, 2021 through July 31, 2024.
Under the Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), the grantee will conduct basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through studies of the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, this Project Grant will support the grantee's examination of how sensory adaptations allow certain zooplankton to thrive in environments with different viscosity levels, with the goal of expanding fundamental knowledge in ocean sciences. Research will be performed at the grantee's location in East Boothbay, Maine.
