This National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology award for $276,000 provides funding from November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2024 to investigate the endocrine and neurogenomic regulation of male parental care strategies in songbirds. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the fellow will examine how variation in testosterone and prolactin hormones mediate male life history strategies and parental behaviors. Field research will be conducted at sites along a latitudinal gradient from North Dakota to Texas to compare male incubation behavior and hormone levels. Experimental manipulation of testosterone and prolactin levels will aim to establish causal roles in influencing parental behavior across populations. Brain tissue collection and analysis may help identify gene networks governing male incubation behaviors. The fellow will also mentor volunteers, technicians and students from underrepresented groups to assist with research goals and develop independent projects, advancing the program's broader impacts.
