- This $926,511 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund collaborative research to develop a framework for studying "higher order interactions" (HOI) - simultaneous interactions among multiple components in complex systems. The funded work aims to examine the causes and consequences of HOI, using a model system of Argentine ant foraging and food transmission to develop mathematical tools from algebraic...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $642,713 Project Grant to the University of Central Florida (UCF) for the collaborative research project "RUI: The Influence of Ants on Regional-Scale Soil Carbon Dynamics". The research aims to advance the understanding of how abundant insects like ants affect soil conditions and microbial communities, which in turn impact soil carbon content at regional scales. The project involves a controlled field...
- This $433,928 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund collaborative research by Clemson University to study invasive plant species across the Americas. The research teams will monitor the growth and survival of native and invasive tree saplings across light gradients in 10 locations, including temperate and tropical forests, to test the hypothesis that lower pest loads allow invasive species to circumvent the typical tradeoffs...
- This $671,535 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining the recovery trajectories of prey communities after the removal of non-native predator species, such as fish, from mountain lakes in the Sierra Nevada region of California. The key objectives are to elucidate the connections between taxonomic and functional recovery of these ecosystems, identify indicators of community vulnerability based on...
