The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Investigating the Roles of Epigenetic and Genomic Variation Through Time in the Invasion Success of Japanese White-Eye." The grant was awarded on September 1, 2021 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to further the program's goals of advancing biological science knowledge and understanding major issues facing the nation. The grant will fund research exploring how epigenetic and genetic changes over time influence the invasive success of the Japanese white-eye bird species. The researcher will investigate variations that may have allowed the species to establish in diverse environments beyond its native range. Insights from this work could further biological understanding of invasion success and have implications for managing invasive species impacts. The $138k in funding will support this research through August 31, 2023.
