This $704,076 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences (47.074) program will fund research at the University Corporation At Monterey Bay to advance understanding of speciation dynamics in the highly diverse rockfish genus Sebastes. Over five years from September 2022 through August 2027, the awardee will construct an updated phylogenetic framework for rockfishes using phylogenomic methods. They will also conduct whole genome sequencing to infer likely divergence...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award provides $817,942 to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) to conduct research aimed at strengthening conservation partnerships and disrupting the illegal wildlife trade. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing near real-time species-level genetic identification for 185 shark, ray, and turtle species using advanced high-resolution melt (HRM) profiling and machine...
This $708,199 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to develop a robust toolkit for studying microfossil fish teeth and shark scales (ichthyoliths) found in deep-sea sediments. The research aims to leverage these abundant but challenging-to-study microfossils to better understand how fish and shark populations have responded to major environmental changes throughout Earth's history. The project will create an...
This Project Grant award of $130,222 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project titled "The Albatross Re-Collection Project for a Century of Genomic Change in the Tropics." The project aims to compare historical and modern fish species, focusing on the blue sprat, to understand how they have adapted to challenges such as fishing and habitat loss over the past century. Key activities include assembling...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the "Collaborative Research: The Albatross Re-Collection Project for a Century of Genomic Change in the Tropics." The $343,638 award, effective July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027, will enable researchers at Rutgers, The State University to compare historical and modern fish samples from the Philippines. The key objectives are to: 1) assemble and annotate high-quality...
This $1,297,896 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will support research by Texas A&M University to investigate the evolutionary and neurogenomic mechanisms underlying species discrimination and behavioral isolation in North American stream fishes. The project will integrate genomic, transcriptomic, and functional approaches to connect patterns of behavioral, neural, and genomic variation within species to the larger processes of...
This $394,557 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the "Collaborative Research: The Albatross Re-Collection Project for a Century of Genomic Change in the Tropics" at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. The project will analyze historical fish samples collected by the research vessel Albatross over a century ago, and compare them to modern samples, to understand how coastal fish species like the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $412,592 Project Grant to Cornell University to conduct research on the genomic and evolutionary impacts of climate change on an anadromous fish species. The project aims to use time series genetic data within an anadromous fish system to observe poleward range shifting at the subpopulation level for the American shad species. Over the 2-year award period from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2025, the research will...
The National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded a $431,276 Project Grant to the President and Fellows of Harvard College from August 15, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The grant supports research titled "INTBIO COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: DEEP TIME, DEVELOPMENT, AND DESIGN: EVOLUTION OF SHARK SKIN TEETH FROM GENOTYPE TO PHENOTYPE TO PROTOTYPE" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA #47.074). The research aims to advance understanding of how shark skin teeth evolve...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program award of $365,966 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the evolution and development of shark skin denticles, the tooth-like scales that create a hydrodynamic exterior. The project will investigate how denticle shape has changed over millions of years to optimize drag-reduction during aquatic locomotion. Key goals include determining the genetic and developmental...
