This $1,137,520 National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant awarded to Clemson University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to conduct integrative functional and quantitative genomics research on butterfly wing color and patterning. The work will identify the genetic architecture of a polygenic and polymorphic phenotype found in male butterflies, study the evolutionary processes underlying its adaptive gain, and test hypotheses about how this phenotype is driving...
This $476,342 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Ohio Wesleyan University to study the common wall lizard. The research will leverage field observations, laboratory experiments, and genomic sequencing to understand how this invasive species has thrived in novel urban environments across North America after limited introduction. Specifically, the research will quantify thermoregulatory behaviors and thermally...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $1,004,225 Project Grant to the University of Virginia to study the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of parasitism on host fitness. The project will use a custom drug delivery method to remove parasitic worms from a wild lizard population and measure the impacts on host health, survival, reproduction, and lifetime fitness. The results will advance understanding of infectious disease ecology and evolution, and...
The University of Southern California was awarded a $1,859,227 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074).
