The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $247,284 project grant to the University of Oregon to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: BEE: INTEGRATING EVOLUTIONARY GENETICS AND POPULATION ECOLOGY TO DETECT CONTEMPORARY ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE ACROSS A SPECIES RANGE." The three-year award, made on May 1, 2022 under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program, will fund research examining how bee populations are adapting genetically to climate change across their ranges. The Biological Sciences program supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and enhance understanding of major problems. As the prime awardee, the University of Oregon will conduct the research and coordinate with any sub-awardees to analyze bee population genetics and ecology across multiple locations to detect evidence of recent adaptation to climate variability.
