This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a $599,986 research project led by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego. The project aims to understand how coral reef-derived organic matter influences the selection and metabolism of distinct microbial populations on coral reefs, and how these microbial processes impact critical ecosystem functions. The research will combine...
This $1,157,344 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will fund research characterizing the biodiversity, biogeography, and functional traits of gnathiid isopod parasites in coral reef and adjacent ecosystems. The specific goals are to describe gnathiid isopod diversity, generate DNA barcodes for identification, and construct a molecular-based phylogeny. The University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science will lead this...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $370,100 awarded to the University of Rhode Island from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 will fund research investigating the impacts of ocean warming on the symbiotic nutritional exchange between microbes and reef-building corals during early life stages. As part of the Geosciences program under the CFDA 47.050, the awardee will characterize the development of the coral-algal symbiosis across life histories in Hawaiian and French...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate the movement of key elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus through coral reef fish communities in Belize. The $672,065 grant awarded on September 1, 2024 will fund research to uncover the origin and flow of these vital elements, as well as reveal relationships between benthic structural complexity and elemental fluxes across different spatial scales. The project...
