This $532,655 multi-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Utah State University (USU) to deepen the understanding of how birds respond to their environmental surroundings. The project aims to: 1) characterize the spatial scales at which hundreds of North American bird species respond to various environmental factors; 2) test hypotheses about the mechanisms generating these scale-dependent...
This $297,323 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The funding supports a collaborative research project to study how habitat structure, specifically the spatial arrangement of plants and resources, impacts avian biodiversity across local to continental scales. Using airborne and satellite Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, the project will explore the...
This $270,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to study plumage coloration and evolution in tropical birds. The research aims to elucidate the genetic basis and evolutionary history of species-specific plumage signals, which enable coexistence of multiple bird species in the same environment. The fellowship will involve microevolutionary and macroevolutionary analyses...
This $1.1 million project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at Oregon Health & Science University from September 2022 through August 2026 to study the mechanisms of neuron excitability for vocalizations in songbirds. The researchers will focus on the electrical properties of cells in well-studied brain regions involved in fine motor skills for song production. They...
