This three-year, $346,278 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research investigating Pleistocene carnivore ecology using fossil records from the McKittick asphalt seep and Rancho La Brea tar pits lagerstatte sites. The researchers will examine dietary patterns in dire wolves and coyotes through ecomorphology, tooth wear analysis, stable isotope analysis, and geochronology to determine food...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology provides $378,135 to fund research linking social-environmental health to the trophic and disease dynamics of urban carnivores. The grant supports a three-year collaborative research project ending September 2025 between the University of California, Berkeley and the State of California. The research aims to better understand how environmental health disparities in cities similarly affect urban carnivore...
This $714,816 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the University of Washington from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The research aims to better understand how environmental health disparities in urban areas impact the trophic and disease dynamics of carnivore populations. Specifically, the project will examine links between toxicant exposure, altered diets, and disease risk for urban carnivores in...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $414,000 provides funding from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025 to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology. The fellowship will fund research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate evolutionary mechanisms that maintain genomic divergence and facilitate local adaptation in gray wolves. The fellow will analyze approximately 1,000 gray wolf genome sequences combined with environmental...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $496,482 to Montana State University from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The funding supports research testing the effects of resources and competitors at multiple spatial and temporal scales in multiple populations of African wild dogs. Specifically, the award integrates new methods into long-term studies of African wild...
This $112,243 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project between the University of California - Merced and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The project aims to reconstruct and analyze the dynamics of historical and paleo-ecosystems, with a focus on understanding how marine communities have responded to climate change and resource exploitation over time, particularly...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $294,004 Project Grant to the University of California Santa Cruz under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to conduct collaborative research on the extinct megafauna of Alaska from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. The research aims to pinpoint the precise extinction dates of the last mammoth, steppe bison, and tundra lion in Alaska through extracting and analyzing ancient DNA preserved in frozen soil, in...
This $180,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports postdoctoral research examining taxon-specific responses to aridity gradients in small mammals over time and across space in the northwestern Great Basin of the United States. The awardee will analyze small mammal bones deposited in caves over the past 16,000 years to test hypotheses about species sensitivity to climate drying and whether ongoing changes in climate or land use pose a...
This four-year, $1.14 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the cumulative effects of ecological and social stressors on integrated ranching-wildlife systems in the western United States. The University of Illinois is the primary awardee and will partner with Oregon State University, the University of Michigan, the University of Idaho, and The Ohio State University on the research. The project aims to better...
This $351,499 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to quantify the ecological legacy of the Terminal Pleistocene megafaunal extinction on mammal communities in the Edward's Plateau region of Texas. The research team at the University of Nebraska will characterize changes in diet, morphology, and ecological interactions of extinct and surviving mammals over the past 20,000 years through stable isotope analysis, 2D/3D...
