The University of Florida was awarded a three-year, $744,637 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund research from October 2021 through September 2024 on "Allopolyploidization, Niche Evolution, and Systematics of Central African Night Frogs." As described under CFDA 47.074, the Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen the nation's biological research capacity. The University of Florida project will use the funding to study the genetic changes, habitat adaptations, and taxonomy of frog species in Central Africa, advancing scientific understanding of a major region's biodiversity. Research outcomes will enhance knowledge of evolutionary processes and aid conservation efforts.
