- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $339,172 will fund research on how the microbiome of the copepod Acartia tonsa, a critical component of marine food webs, responds to thermal stress caused by climate change. The research, conducted by the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College, has three main objectives: 1) determine the microbial composition of A. tonsa's southernmost North American population and how it varies under...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,000 supports research investigating mechanisms of thermal plasticity and adaptation in a splash pool copepod from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to further the program's goals of advancing biological sciences knowledge and understanding major problems facing the nation. Specifically, the fellow will conduct integrative research using lab-reared copepod...
- This $652,785 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand how copepod populations, which are vital to commercial fisheries, can evolve in response to climate change-driven salinity changes in coastal environments. The research team from The Ohio State University will examine the evolution of osmoregulatory functions and ion transporter genes in copepods to determine how they can adapt to rapid salinity...
- The University of Vermont & State Agricultural College was awarded a $331,979 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant to conduct research on the ecological genomics of adaptation in a rocky shore predator-prey interaction. The research project aims to: 1) determine the level of migration and gene flow among populations of a low dispersing marine snail species, 2) identify genomic patterns of selection using environmental data and detailed...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $323,227 to the University of Houston System to conduct research on the genetic mechanisms behind seasonal adaptations and antifreeze protein production in high latitude cod species. The research aims to understand how these fishes have adapted to survive in the freezing polar ocean environments. Key activities include observing seasonal changes to kidney morphology in cod species kept at...
- This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $415,682 to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation to conduct research on the effects of ocean warming on a coastal fish species. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify genetic variation in temperature response, 2) determine if local adaptation to temperature exists, and 3) assess whether evolutionary changes can occur quickly enough to impact population...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $412,592 Project Grant to Cornell University to conduct research on the genomic and evolutionary impacts of climate change on an anadromous fish species. The project aims to use time series genetic data within an anadromous fish system to observe poleward range shifting at the subpopulation level for the American shad species. Over the 2-year award period from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2025, the research will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $1,159,133 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to conduct research on how rising ocean temperatures affect the interactions between predatory crabs and their prey blue mussels in the Gulf of Maine. The project, titled "CAREER: Integrating Thermal Physiology and Species Interactions to Forecast Community Response to Environmental Change," will measure how...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award of $358,622 to the University of Illinois from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2026 aims to characterize the evolution of proteins that integrate signals of warming, changing pH, and oxidation in the sensory systems of three species of Arctic and sub-Arctic fish. The research will provide insight into the sensitivity and responses of these fish to climate change through the generation and analysis of...
