The University of California, Los Angeles was awarded an $856,588 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology. The grant supports research titled "INTERSPECIFIC INTERFERENCE, CHARACTER DISPLACEMENT AND RANGE EXPANSION" from April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2025.
The research aims to promote progress in the biological sciences by increasing scientific knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems confronting the nation, as described in the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) of the National Science Foundation. Specifically, the grant will fund investigation of interspecific interference between closely-related species, character displacement driven by competition, and factors enabling range expansion. Results of the research are expected to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise by advancing fundamental biological knowledge.
