This $427,258 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research to elucidate the relationships between asymptomatic honey bee virus infections, flight performance, heat stress, and antiviral immune responses in honey bees. The project, led by researchers at Montana State University, will conduct laboratory experiments on individual honey bees and primary cells to determine the physiological impacts of asymptomatic virus...
This $626,680 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Colorado State University from January 2024 through December 2026. The research aims to understand the mechanistic, functional, and evolutionary bases of slow-fast phenotypic diversity and its significance in social honeybee groups. Investigators will study genetic lines of honeybees bred for low and high metabolic rates to understand fundamental differences. A...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to identify the mechanisms linking social environment to physiological plasticity in an incipiently social orchid bee. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to advance biological knowledge and understanding of major issues. Over the September 2021 to August 2023 period of performance, the grantee will conduct research at Davis, California to explore how social interactions...
This $241,419 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the protective symbiosis mechanism of honey bees at the University of Michigan from October 2022 to October 2023. The goal is to characterize how a bacterial symbiont protects honey bee brood from fungal pathogens by investigating its antifungal properties. Researchers will use microbiology, genetics, genomics, chemistry and bee rearing to determine how the trait evolved and identify the antifungal metabolite...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems provides $138,000 to fund postdoctoral research integrating genes, environment and behavior to understand nutrient foraging in honey bees. The award period is from March 2022 through February 2024, with performance taking place in State College, Pennsylvania. This award supports the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in biology and strengthen the...
This Project Grant award in the amount of $144,912 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at North Carolina State University to investigate the factors shaping host-associated microbial communities using the honey bee as a model system. The research aims to integrate concepts from ecology and evolution to understand how environmental factors, species interactions, and evolutionary dynamics influence the composition of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology from July 2024 to June 2027. The fellowship will investigate how honeybee swarms utilize local information to adapt their internal and external structures in response to environmental perturbations such as wind, rain, and temperature changes. The research will involve experimental studies using X-ray...
This $654,761 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research by the Chicago Horticultural Society's Chicago Botanic Garden division to examine how wild bee populations respond to rapid environmental changes. The project will use in-situ temperature manipulations and a reciprocal translocation experiment to quantify the direct effects of altered environmental conditions and the indirect effects mediated by changes...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation supports research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: BEE: INTEGRATING EVOLUTIONARY GENETICS AND POPULATION ECOLOGY TO DETECT CONTEMPORARY ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE ACROSS A SPECIES RANGE" being conducted by the University of California, Merced from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The $216,783 in funding is provided under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to increase scientific knowledge and understanding...
This three-year $240,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research investigating host-pathogen dynamics in response to resource pulses in bees. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program of the NSF Division of Biological Infrastructure to study how mass blooming cover crops and surrounding landscape floral resources impact bee disease resistance, pathogen infection, and transmission. Specifically, the fellow will examine how resource pulses from vetch crops...
