The University of Idaho received a three-year $677,575 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will support collaborative research examining the effects of declines in top scavengers from microbes to ecosystems. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance biological knowledge and understanding of major problems facing the nation through basic research. Over the three-year period of performance in Moscow, Idaho, the University of Idaho will investigate how reductions in higher-level scavenging species impact microbial and ecosystem functions. The research findings could provide insight into complex food web relationships and environmental changes resulting from altered scavenging roles across multiple biological levels.
