This $1.165 million National Science Foundation project grant will fund research at Marquette University from September 2022 through August 2026 to identify sex chromosomes in understudied lizard and snake species. The research aims to advance understanding of sex chromosome evolution by investigating reptile groups with diverse sex determination systems. Researchers will characterize sex chromosomes through comparative genomics, transcriptomics, and phylogenetics analyses. They will also...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund $321,072 in research at the Reed Institute under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from March 2022 through February 2025. The research aims to investigate the evolutionary and biological basis of physical and behavioral traits that are sex-biased toward male or female expression across multiple levels of biological organization. Researchers will study global hormone levels, metabolic enzymes, hormone...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant provides $270,000 in funding from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028 for a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on linking lizard phenotypes to their environments through thermal physiology. The research will study how lizards respond to temperature and humidity across different environments and as a function of their physical characteristics, with the goal of better understanding how these ectothermic...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund $240,000 over three years to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship will fund integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments, and phenotypes in driving the diversification of North American lizards during adaptive radiation. The fellow will generate reference genomes for Anolis lizards, apply cytogenetic techniques to...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research on how the hormone aldosterone regulates amphibian metamorphosis from aquatic to terrestrial forms. The $629,995 award to the University of Cincinnati, with a performance period from September 2024 to August 2027, aims to reveal aldosterone's precise role in frog development by measuring corticosteroid levels, comparing wild-type and mutant tadpoles,...
This Project Grant award of $400,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund research at the University of Oklahoma from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2030. The research aims to investigate how maternal hormones, specifically testosterone, can shape behavioral development and plasticity in house sparrows across generations. Key objectives include: Identifying gene networks in the sparrow hypothalamus that are sensitive to early testosterone...
The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) received a $299,044 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research from July 2023 through June 2027. The award will support Penn State's efforts to study the molecular mechanisms regulating complex traits like body size and reproduction in natural populations of five reptile species across three...
This $640,205 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a research project led by Yale University to investigate the role of behavior in evolutionary adaptation. The project will focus on anole lizards as a model system to study how behaviors like thermal regulation can buffer organisms from natural selection and influence gene flow across environmental gradients. Key aspects include: Quantifying thermal modification...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $240,000 provides funding from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026 to support an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship will fund research investigating the genetic basis of structural coloration in animals under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The fellow will sequence genomes from over 100 lizard specimens to identify genomic regions controlling structural blue color variation versus...
This $476,342 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Ohio Wesleyan University to study the common wall lizard. The research will leverage field observations, laboratory experiments, and genomic sequencing to understand how this invasive species has thrived in novel urban environments across North America after limited introduction. Specifically, the research will quantify thermoregulatory behaviors and thermally...
