This $652,785 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand how copepod populations, which are vital to commercial fisheries, can evolve in response to climate change-driven salinity changes in coastal environments. The research team from The Ohio State University will examine the evolution of osmoregulatory functions and ion transporter genes in copepods to determine how they can adapt to rapid salinity...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $139,432 awarded on May 1, 2022 will fund research into the hydrodynamic consequences of spines on zooplankton morphology and function under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). Specifically, the award to the University of California, Berkeley supports a collaborative research effort between the university and a small liberal arts undergraduate college to examine the ecological functions of spines in different barnacle nauplii larval...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) provides $1,444,777 from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation to conduct research on the relationship between fine-scale water column structure, particle aggregations, and gelatinous-dominated food webs in subtropical continental shelf environments. The research is taking place in the South Atlantic Bight and Northern Gulf...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is awarded to the University of Oregon for a 3-year collaborative research project to investigate the effects of microbial cell surface properties on predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems. The total funding amount is $622,198, with the award period running from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The research examines how the surface characteristics of marine microorganisms influence...
This three-year, $361,187 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences and Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research characterizing the ecology of mysid shrimp and their interactions with fluid dynamics in response to various environmental conditions. The grantee, Florida Atlantic University, will develop an in situ imaging system to conduct field experiments at the Damariscotta River Estuary, collecting data on mysid distributions, swimming...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $315,954 to Portland State University to conduct research on the effects of microbial cell surface properties on predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems. The 3-year project aims to quantify the surface characteristics of major marine microbial groups and assess how these properties influence feeding selectivity and fate of particles by suspension-feeding organisms like...
This $299,953 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds the evaluation and implementation of a newly developed olfactometer for studying sensory ecology in small marine organisms at the University of Miami from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2024. The olfactometer aims to advance research on the behavioral responses of aquatic organisms like Daphnia spp., fish-parasitic isopods, and juvenile stony corals to chemical cues. Currently, research tools for...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $535,465 to Trustees of Tufts College (Tufts University) for a collaborative research project titled "Biodesign: A Deep Dive into Dynamic Damping in Extreme Underwater Maneuvering".
