- This four-year, $936,605 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining ecological and coevolutionary feedbacks in multi-mutualist communities. The researchers will use an experimental system of budding yeast strains that exchange nutrient resources to simulate mutualistic species interactions. They will manipulate the number of mutualist species and available environmental resources to evaluate how reciprocal trait...
