Project Grant 2206784
- This three-year, $1.388 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research to develop integrated distribution models for approximately 100 North American mammal species. The grantee, Friends of the North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences, will create continental scale species distribution models using traditional museum data integrated with new camera trap and citizen science data. This will allow for analysis of...
- This $333,092 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at North Carolina State University to quantify tree recruitment and vertebrate consumer relationships across North America. The research will collect extensive gradient sampling data on tree fecundity, recruitment stages from seed supply to seedling establishment to advanced regeneration, and vertebrate activity linked to climate and habitat variables. Predictive...
- This $139,114 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the development of computational models to predict changes in biodiversity patterns over time at the University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc. Over the one-year period from May 2023 to April 2024, the awardee will synthesize decades of species distribution data and research to generate dynamic models incorporating factors like physiology and species interactions. A...
- This federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $800,000 to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. over a 3-year period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The award aims to improve understanding of what constrains the geographic distributions of species, both currently and under future climate change scenarios. The project will integrate demographic methods into species distribution models (SDMs) to...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the complex factors that influence animal responses to climate change. The $240,000 award, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund a research and training plan with two key objectives: 1) Synthesize available data on climate-induced range shifts across mammal species to build predictive...
- This National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $515,158 to The University of Texas at San Antonio from October 2022 to September 2025. The award will support research to develop next-generation species distribution models that integrate organism-level bioenergetic budgets with community-level predator-prey interactions. Researchers will conduct laboratory experiments and field studies on fish populations in Southern Appalachian streams...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded on August 15, 2024 for $214,838, will support collaborative research to study how local adaptation and climatic extremes shape continental-scale changes in distribution and abundance under climate change. The project will use transplant experiments and long-term monitoring of two widespread tundra plant species across 29 populations in western North America. The research aims to develop...
- This $442,219 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at North Carolina State University to test incorporating secondary foundation species into coastal habitat restoration efforts. The research aims to increase ecosystem regrowth, biodiversity recovery, and climate resistance through harnessing beneficial species interactions. Specifically, the project will test how...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) provides $663,730 to North Carolina State University to conduct collaborative research on the ecological effects of rapid global warming during the Cretaceous Thermal Maximum (KTM) period, approximately 95 million years ago. The research aims to generate freely accessible databases on temperature, precipitation, species diet, migration, habitat, and ecosystem changes during the KTM....
- This $287,115 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research on continent-wide forest recruitment change and its interactions with climate, habitat, and consumers in North America. The University of California, Merced will conduct the research from September 2022 through August 2026. Key products include quantifying current trends in tree seed production, seedling establishment, and recruitment rates across climate and habitat...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $748,624 to North Carolina State University from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The funding will support research to develop integrated distribution models for approximately 100 North American mammal species. Researchers will combine traditional museum data with new camera trap and citizen science data, including from the National Ecological Observatory Network and Snapshot USA program. Models will assess the extent of ecological niche conservatism versus local adaptation across species ranges. Products will include continental scale distribution models, analysis of environmental and anthropogenic drivers of patterns, and publications. Results will be shared through podcasts, YouTube, and engagement with the >800 student and underserved community participants in Snapshot USA's annual surveys. Insights on scale of adaptation and impacts of natural versus anthropogenic changes will inform conservation and management of populations facing climate change.
