The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded $206,971 to the University of California, Merced under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The four-year project grant will support collaborative research to harness adaptive genetic variation in drought resistance strategies to manage plant populations under climate change. Researchers will characterize how genetic variation acts through regulatory networks to adaptively tune organismal...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $739,066 Project Grant to Duke University to examine how a model one-celled organism, Tetrahymena thermophila, adapts to changing temperatures. The funded research, part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to resolve critical gaps in understanding how rapid global climate change may affect the evolution of protist growth rates and respiration, with potential implications for both climate change and public health. The 5-year...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology focused on the evolution of masting as a mechanism for forest resilience under climate change. The 3-year fellowship will fund research to identify genetic variants associated with reproductive traits in two pine species, examine how these variants change over time and terrain in response to temperature gradients, and determine...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded on August 15, 2024 for $214,838, will support collaborative research to study how local adaptation and climatic extremes shape continental-scale changes in distribution and abundance under climate change. The project will use transplant experiments and long-term monitoring of two widespread tundra plant species across 29 populations in western North America. The research aims to develop...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the genetic basis of heat tolerance in the ecologically important giant kelp species (Macrocystis pyrifera). The 3-year project aims to: (1) determine if warming events are associated with genetic signatures of population decline in giant kelp, (2) identify adaptive genetic variants that contribute...
