This $311,397 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to integrate mathematical models and microcosm experiments to understand the effects of disturbances, such as fire, drought, and flooding, on community interactions in biological systems. The key objectives of the 3-year project (Aug 2024 - Jul 2027) are to: 1) Determine the differential impacts of pulse (short-term) versus press (long-term)...
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 $298,375 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports a collaborative research project focused on understanding how populations evolve in complex, changing environments. The primary awardee, Virginia Tech, will conduct both experimental and theoretical work to investigate the relationships between an individual's environmental preferences, developmental processes, and patterns of phenotypic plasticity. The researchers aim to develop a...
This $280,634 federal Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research at the University of Florida on how individual variation in species traits can influence ecosystem stability. The project aims to develop a theoretical framework for studying "trait-shift induced interaction modification" and its effects on ecological dynamics. Researchers will integrate mathematical modeling and empirical analysis to...
This two-year, $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund postdoctoral research exploring the effects of rapid evolution on alternative community states at multiple spatial scales. The fellow, Lucas Nell, will conduct laboratory experiments and develop mathematical models to study how trait evolution influences the composition of alternative microbial community states in monkeyflower nectar and their prevalence across a...
This five-year, $3 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the University of Colorado Boulder, Cornell University, Florida Atlantic University, and the University of New Mexico to develop methods for understanding how the functioning and dynamics of complex ecological interaction networks emerge and respond to environmental change. The researchers will measure multivalent interactions among fish and other...
This $303,254 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research exploring the idea that the earliest adaptive evolution occurred through self-amplifying cycles of chemical reactions, rather than nucleic acids. Over a three-year period from August 2022 to July 2025, Michigan State University will conduct theoretical and laboratory studies to analyze how mixtures of chemicals could...
This $55,944 National Science Foundation project grant through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research between Louisiana State University and mathematicians and ecologists. The project aims to advance understanding of species coexistence in fragmented habitats through integrated experimental and mathematical analysis. Researchers will experimentally measure how density-dependent emigration relationships and important life history tradeoffs...
This Project Grant award for $379,240 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a study to "Explain Analytical Heterogeneity in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology". The primary objectives are to identify situations where different researchers analyzing the same data may draw different conclusions, and to hold workshops to discuss best practices for data analysis within the scientific community. The award recipient, The Board of...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $524,000 will support the development of network-based models to evaluate functional biodiversity responses to climate change and species invasions in marine biological communities. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), this award reflects NSF's mission to promote biological sciences research and strengthen the scientific enterprise. Specifically, researchers at the University of California, Davis will leverage long-term...
