This $240,471 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems will fund research into keystone molecules and estuarine food webs. The grant is part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to advance biological science knowledge and address major problems facing the nation. Specifically, the University of Utah will investigate polyketide compounds produced by small sea slugs of the genus Alderia that are abundant on mudflats in northern...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $277,923 to the Regents of the University of Idaho to conduct research on the chemical ecology and community dynamics of land snails in the Peruvian Andes. The 3-year project aims to uncover how chemical interactions mediated by snail mucus influence species interactions and community assembly in this biodiversity hotspot. Key activities include: Identifying and quantifying mucus...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $554,121 to the University of South Florida to conduct collaborative research on the ecology of an Antarctic ascidian (sea squirt) and its microbial symbiont that produces the natural product palmerolide A. The key objectives of the research are to: (1) determine the microbiome composition, metabolome, and palmerolide A levels in different morphotypes of the ascidian Synoicum adareanum at...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $302,900 will fund research into higher-order neural processing in the peripheral nervous system of the nudibranch mollusk Berghia stephaniae from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The award was made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote biological sciences research and enhance understanding of major problems. Specifically, the grant will support construction of a connectome of the rhinophore...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $411,920 to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography to conduct collaborative research on the relationship between the Antarctic ascidian (sea squirt) Synoicum adareanum, its microbiome, and the natural product palmerolide A. The key objectives of this multidisciplinary research project are to: (1) characterize the microbiome composition, metabolome, and...
This $734,554 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research initiative investigating the ecological association between an Antarctic ascidian (sea squirt) named Synoicum adareanum, its microbiome, and the natural product palmerolide A (PALA). The key objectives are to: (1) characterize the microbiome composition, metabolome, and PALA levels in different S. adareanum morphotypes across the Antarctic Peninsula and...
This $401,104 National Science Foundation project grant to the University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc. supports research and outreach related to mollusk species in the Western Atlantic region. The award, made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund analysis of modern and fossil mollusk characteristics and physiological experiments to develop a predictive framework for which mollusk species will survive or become extinct over the next few centuries given changing...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $831,969 provides funding over three years from September 2022 through August 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to link species traits to marine ecosystem functioning. Principal investigators at the University of California Irvine, supported through funding from the NSF Division of Ocean Sciences, will characterize functional traits of seaweed species along environmental gradients on rocky shorelines in the U.S. and Europe....
This five-year, $589,862 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology will fund research into predicting the survival and extinction of Western Atlantic mollusk species under changing ocean conditions. The Paleontological Research Institute will analyze physiological traits in modern and fossil mollusk samples as well as conduct experimental studies to determine relationships between mollusk physiology and ocean variables. Ecological niche modeling...
The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a three-year $997,100 Project Grant to the University of Massachusetts Amherst under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research on higher-order neural processing in the peripheral nervous system of the nudibranch mollusk Berghia stephaniae. The research team will develop an online portal containing the annotated connectome and neuronal atlas of Berghia's rhinophore complex...
