This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $138,000 supports research and training in the area of biological sciences from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025. The grant funds a postdoctoral fellowship for the study of evolution of innate predator avoidance behavior in flies under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellow will investigate how changes in genes lead to changes in insect responses to smells associated with predators and parasites. Using Drosophila flies as a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $396,000 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to study the evolutionary adaptations that allow the fly species Drosophila sechellia to feed exclusively on the toxic noni fruit. The research aims to identify the specific genes responsible for D. sechellia's unique taste preferences and reduced sensitivity to the bitter chemicals in noni fruit compared to...
This $432,173 Project Grant award was made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. The award will support research on understanding the genetic drivers of fitness variation in wild fruit fly (Drosophila) populations. Key objectives are to: 1) Identify the genetic processes generating fitness differences among individual flies, including differences in survival, mating success, and gametic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral fellowship at Raleigh, NC to study the neural control of acoustic duetting in fruit flies. The research aims to investigate how the brain evolves to generate new mating behaviors, such as female flies singing back to males during courtship. The project will leverage the fruit fly as a model organism to understand the neural circuitry that coordinates...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $502,161 to Appalachian State University to investigate the impacts of evolutionary novelty on generalist species. Specifically, the award will fund research examining toxin tolerance in Drosophila tripunctata fruit flies that use diverse mushrooms and fruits as hosts. The university will test hypotheses about how toxin tolerance...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Effects of Individual Experience on Population Social Structure: Integrating Development, Gene Expression and Social Ecology." The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research from March 2022 to February 2024 in Hillsborough, North Carolina. The goal of the Biological Sciences program is to promote advancement in the biological sciences and...
This $276,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and training from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024. The fellowship recipient will conduct integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments and phenotypes in evolutionary biology. Specifically, the fellow will study mechanisms connecting short-term plastic behavioral responses to long-term evolutionary change. Using a pupfish system with specialist and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Towards an Integrative Understanding of Conspicuous Signals: Phenotype, Genotype, and Adaptive Function of a Selected Trait." The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and increase understanding of major problems confronting the nation. The research will be conducted in New Orleans, Louisiana from March...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research on the mechanisms that regulate co-transmission of multiple neurotransmitters in fruit flies. The $502,569 award to the University of Montana, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2028, will leverage cutting-edge techniques to examine how neurons that co-release glutamate and octopamine are impacted by sexual dimorphism and social isolation....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The fellowship will support research and training to investigate the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes, with a focus on understanding how repetitive DNA sequences, particularly a satellite repeat on the X chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster, influence...
