- This three-year, $393,461 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research effort to build a robust phylogenetic framework of the hyper-diverse flowering plant subfamily Lamioideae (Lamiaceae). The awardee, Missouri Western State University, will utilize next-generation sequencing approaches including targeted enrichment, transcriptomics, and broad taxonomic sampling to circumscribe major clades within Lamioideae and...
- This $988,130 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program focuses on advancing understanding of the evolutionary history and ecological adaptations of the Montiaceae plant family. Led by researchers at Yale University, the project will construct a comprehensive phylogeny (evolutionary tree) for the Montiaceae, which contains ~250 species of annual and perennial herbs found across diverse environments like deserts, mountains, and Mediterranean regions....
- This Project Grant award of $477,249.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to bridge the gap between molecular studies and fossil evidence to better understand the evolution and diversification of flowering plants, also known as angiosperms. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: The project will use advanced techniques like optical superresolution microscopy, deep learning, and new methods for reconstructing...
- This $406,962 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research to understand the forces shaping lichen species distributions in the Appalachian Mountain biodiversity hotspot. The key products and services to be delivered include: Integrating digitization, exploration, genomics, and student training to illuminate factors influencing lichen distributions in the Appalachian region Creating new large-scale,...
- This two-year, $276,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research investigating the early stages of species diversification. The awardee will conduct integrative research examining how an organism's local environment shapes the evolution of its physical traits and genetic makeup. Specifically, the awardee will characterize incipient divergence among flowering plants by examining floral trait variation in the recently radiating Castilleja genus. Genomic and...
- This $431,424 National Science Foundation project grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at the University of Kentucky to advance understanding of plant diversification processes in the tropical Andes mountains. The research team will develop new genomic analysis software and mathematical models to disentangle the biological and environmental drivers of diversification among four groups of flowering plants endemic to the region. They will...
- The New York Botanical Garden received a $629,237 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on September 15, 2021 to complete work by August 31, 2025. Under the grant, the Botanical Garden will mobilize underrepresented Asian herbarium collections in the United States to advance biodiversity discovery. Specifically, the Garden will digitize herbarium specimens to make them more accessible online for research purposes. This work will help propel biodiversity studies by allowing...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $2,999,552 to the University of Nevada, Reno to quantify the phytochemical landscape of indigenous communities through knowledge integration, interaction diversity genomics, and network dynamics from 2022-2026.
