This $237,690 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College to conduct research on the evolutionary history and diversity of acoustic communication in toothed whales. The five-year project will use artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches to quantify toothed whale vocal repertoires and analyze the social and environmental factors shaping...
This $418,546 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports collaborative research to investigate oxygen transport mechanisms in elite diving mammals. The research team from San Diego State University will evaluate and model in vivo oxygen delivery in California sea lions and bottlenose dolphins, elucidate the biochemical regulation of oxygen off-loading in these species, and examine oxygen storage and diffusion in their skeletal muscle. This...
This federal Project Grant award of $137,133, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to reconstruct and analyze the dynamics of historical and paleo-ecosystems, focusing on the evolution of large-bodied filter-feeding baleen whales and their apex predators near the Eocene-Oligocene transition, as well as recent anthropogenic impacts of industrialized fishing. The research project is a collaboration between the...
This $145,931 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research by the Chicago Zoological Society (Brookfield Zoo) to study acoustic communication and collective behavior in bottlenose dolphins. The research aims to generate new understanding of how vocal cues and acoustic information influence the coordinated movement and emotional states of these highly intelligent animals. Key research...
This $249,317 federal Project Grant award from the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300) is funding research to evaluate the linkage between comprehensive physiological stress indicators and the health of cetaceans (whales and dolphins). The lead awardee is George Mason University, which will collaborate with researchers from Oregon State University on the 36-month project. Key activities include gray whale field...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,363,205 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct collaborative research on oxygen transport mechanisms in elite diving mammals. The project aims to investigate differences in how oxygen is delivered to skeletal muscles in pinnipeds (e.g., sea lions) versus cetaceans (e.g., dolphins) during long-duration dives. The research team will evaluate in vivo oxygen...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to advance the understanding of collective behavior in highly intelligent animals, specifically bottlenose dolphins. The $138,016 award will support research that combines experimental measurements of sound, movement, and physiology to generate new knowledge about how acoustic communication and environmental context influence coordinated group behavior in...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $207,000 supports research and education activities from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant recipient will investigate cetacean morbillivirus transmission in the Pacific Basin through serology testing of 20 Hawaiian cetacean species to assess exposure rates. Social network analysis of two decades of cetacean sighting data will document mixed-species interactions to simulate...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program provides $643,665 to the National Marine Mammal Foundation, Inc. to conduct collaborative research on oxygen transport mechanisms in elite diving mammals. The 4-year project, beginning December 1, 2023, will evaluate and model in vivo oxygen delivery during dive simulations with California sea lions and bottlenose dolphins. It will also elucidate the biochemical mechanisms regulating red blood cell oxygen...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant in the amount of $376,582 awarded to Florida International University (FIU) will support a collaborative international research effort titled "WHALEADAPT: Adaptation of Vulnerable Subsistence-Based North Atlantic Communities to Marine Mammal Redistribution under Climate Change." The project aims to investigate the past, present, and future distribution and abundance of North Atlantic toothed...
