This federal Project Grant award of $240,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2024. The research project will investigate the evolutionary genomics and population genomics of long-distance migration in shorebirds, an extreme biological adaptation to seasonality. The research aims to identify genome regions involved in migratory adaptation and evaluate the influence of...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $414,000 supports research investigating the role of migratory behavior in population divergence and speciation from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award will train a postdoctoral fellow in comparative phylogenetics and genomic analyses to study how animal migration contributes to the formation of new species. The fellow will test whether migratory lineages have higher...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $190,605 project grant to the University of South Carolina under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from September 1, 2021 to April 30, 2023. The grant will support research examining the impacts of climate change on community dynamics and long-distance migratory bird populations. As part of the Biological Sciences program's goal of strengthening the nation's biological research enterprise and increasing scientific understanding,...
This three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $770,868 will support research from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025 examining how seasonal migration influences genetic migration in boreal forest bird species. Funded through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of Michigan will investigate the relationship between seasonal long-distance migration and genetic differentiation using genomic tools and migration tracking tags across 32 co-distributed bird species....
This two-year National Science Foundation project grant of $138,000 supports postdoctoral research on the genetic basis and fitness consequences of thermoregulatory flexibility in junco birds. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the research aims to advance understanding of major problems in biology. The grant period is from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2023 and performance will take place in Columbia, South Carolina. The Biological Sciences program seeks to promote...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $396,938, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028, will support a collaborative research project to investigate the genetic basis of complex floral trait adaptation between bee- and hummingbird-pollinated plant species. The research team, led by the University of South Carolina, will use advanced genomics technologies to identify specific DNA differences that underlie the integrated floral...
This $1,137,520 National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant awarded to Clemson University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to conduct integrative functional and quantitative genomics research on butterfly wing color and patterning. The work will identify the genetic architecture of a polygenic and polymorphic phenotype found in male butterflies, study the evolutionary processes underlying its adaptive gain, and test hypotheses about how this phenotype is driving...
This National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology award for $138,000 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to examine the molecular mechanisms of migratory behavior in sea turtles. The fellowship supports research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate whether patterns in an animal's genetic code relate to its migratory behavior. The fellow will sequence whole genomes of loggerhead sea turtles with known migratory patterns...
