- This three-year, $643,366 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences will support research into understanding the spatial and temporal variation in community assembly processes through leveraging ecological modeling, functional ecology, and the fossil record of small mammals over the late Quaternary period (past 21,000 years). Specifically, the University of California, Merced will conduct a comprehensive re-assessment of existing small mammal fossil records,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $279,943 Project Grant to the University of Oregon to conduct collaborative research on the evolution of North American small mammal communities in response to landscape changes from the Oligocene to Miocene epochs (30 to 5 million years ago). The project aims to understand the relationship between vegetation and mammalian communities, with a focus on how small mammals respond to habitat changes over time. The research will integrate fieldwork to...
- 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 $200,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to investigate long-term ecological and evolutionary responses of small mammals to environmental change across western North America and East Africa over the past 23 million years. The project, led by researchers at the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (Stony Brook University), aims to generate and analyze multi-proxy data from...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $432,829 to The Ohio State University will support collaborative research to understand the relationship between surface productivity and ecological structure in marine benthic communities. The project aims to: (1) evaluate how productivity affects the energetic and trophic structure of marine benthic communities on both sides of the modern Isthmus of Panama, (2) use this knowledge to evaluate the...
- This $419,234 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to study the effects of climate change on mammalian functional diversity over long timescales. Key objectives include: Analyzing changes in mammal functional diversity, floral composition, and abiotic factors like temperature before, during, and after the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) climate event in the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming. This will elucidate the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $202,138 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The grant funds a collaborative research project to examine the evolution of North American small mammal communities in response to landscape changes over the past 30 to 5 million years. The researchers will collect fossils and sediment samples from the U.S. Great Plains and Northwest to study how changes in habitat...
- This National Science Foundation project grant awarded $455,766 to Oregon State University to study how climate change and human impacts have shaped small mammal communities over the last 17,000 years. The grant is part of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund research using the fossil and archaeological records of Paisley and Connley Caves in Oregon to estimate diversity and functional changes in small mammal populations from 17,000 years ago to present. In addition,...
- 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...
- This $372,195 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project to study the effects of climate change on mammalian functional diversity using a high-resolution fossil record and novel AI workflows. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award, which began on November 1, 2024, include: Generating 3D datasets from micro-CT scans of mammalian fossils to characterize functional...
