This federal Project Grant award of $240,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2024. The research project will investigate the evolutionary genomics and population genomics of long-distance migration in shorebirds, an extreme biological adaptation to seasonality. The research aims to identify genome regions involved in migratory adaptation and evaluate the influence of...
The National Science Foundation awarded $414,000 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The fellowship funding will support integrative research investigating the intersection of genomes, environments, and phenotypes in elevational migrant bird species across the Andes and Himalayas. The fellow will generate valuable museum specimens including frozen tissues and genomic,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2023. The purpose of the fellowship is to increase the participation of groups underrepresented in biology. The fellow's proposed studies will investigate interactions between migratory and resident bird species during spring migration stopover periods, which have implications for migration ecology, climate...
This three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $770,868 will support research from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025 examining how seasonal migration influences genetic migration in boreal forest bird species. Funded through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of Michigan will investigate the relationship between seasonal long-distance migration and genetic differentiation using genomic tools and migration tracking tags across 32 co-distributed bird species....
This $270,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to study plumage coloration and evolution in tropical birds. The research aims to elucidate the genetic basis and evolutionary history of species-specific plumage signals, which enable coexistence of multiple bird species in the same environment. The fellowship will involve microevolutionary and macroevolutionary analyses...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology provides $199,926 to the University of South Carolina from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The funding supports research titled "EAGER: Testing for Genes Associated with Migratory Behavior in a Peripatetic Species" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The goal of the research is to test for genes associated with migratory behavior using a species known to travel...
This $276,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and training from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024. The fellowship recipient will conduct integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments and phenotypes in evolutionary biology. Specifically, the fellow will study mechanisms connecting short-term plastic behavioral responses to long-term evolutionary change. Using a pupfish system with specialist and...
This federal Project Grant award of $270,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the genetic and functional bases of rapid phenotypic evolution in birds. The project will characterize the production and evolution of structural white coloration in feathers across three bird clades, investigating the phenotype-environment associations and genetic adaptations underlying this...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 supports a postdoctoral research fellowship from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028. The project aims to integrate historical museum collections and avian conservation genomics to understand how bird species in California have responded to past environmental changes and forecast their vulnerability to future climate change. The research will develop a framework for incorporating...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $138,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024. The fellowship supports research investigating the genetic mechanisms governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes within the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). Specifically, the fellow will conduct a comparative study of axial skeleton evolution in birds using genetic,...
