The National Science Foundation awarded a $414,000 Project Grant to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The Fellowship will fund integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments, and phenotypes. Specifically, the Fellow will monitor evolution in heat tolerance plasticity of anole lizards on islands in Panama that have experienced rapid temperature increases compared to mainland populations. The Fellow will determine if microbial communities in the lizards' guts have facilitated this adaptation and whether probiotic inoculations of associated bacterial taxa can increase plasticity and fitness. The research aims to elucidate how host-microbe interactions shape responses to climate change, protecting vulnerable species. The Fellow will also mentor undergraduate students from underrepresented STEM backgrounds and disseminate findings to the public.
