- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $277,546 awarded to the University of Illinois will fund collaborative research and broader impact activities related to the evolution of insect wings under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). Specifically, the award will support an integrative phylogenomic study from January 2023 to December 2025 examining wing repurposing, vestigiality and loss patterns in cockroaches and termites to better understand the value of wings...
- This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) provides $138,000 in funding to support research on the "Developmental patterning of double-layered epithelia and the evolutionary origin of insect wings." The grant was awarded on July 1, 2021 under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The primary product to be delivered is research exploring the developmental processes that form double-layered epithelial tissues, and how these processes...
- This $687,357 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to study repeated evolution in a diverse group of alpine beetles. The researchers will explore whether natural selection has acted on the same molecular pathways as species adapted to alpine environments during past climate cycles. Comparative genomic and stress tolerance experiments will test for evidence of repeated evolution and identify the genetic mechanisms...
- This federal Project Grant award of $280,113 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research to study how gall-forming insects evade parasitic wasps and how the parasites adapt to their hosts. The research team from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton, including a postdoctoral scholar, three graduate students, and several undergraduates, will document the parasitic wasps that attack hundreds of oak gall insect...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship. The grant supports an investigation into the role of transcriptional plasticity in insect host specialization, focused on two species of pine sawfly. The research aims to identify the genes that allow insects to adapt to changes in their environment, which is important for understanding how organisms survive and adapt...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $1,263,992 project grant to the University of California, Berkeley under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research on the mechanistic basis of cricket wing dimorphism. The project aims to develop a powerful model system using North American field crickets in the genus Gryllus to discover the genetic, developmental, physiological, and environmental processes that...
- This $747,521 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems supports collaborative research titled "The Intersection Between Cell Fate Decisions and Phenotypic Diversification in a Rapidly Radiating Butterfly Lineage." The grant funds research through July 2025 aimed at increasing scientific knowledge and understanding of major biological problems as part of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The Smithsonian Institution Office...
- This Project Grant award of $419,379.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The award will support research at Bryn Mawr College to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying stable flight in insects. Specifically, the project will characterize the sensory signals that convey information about wing bending during flight and how these signals are used to guide flight behaviors. The research will involve experiments...
- This $993,899 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research into the biomechanical and fluid-mechanical mechanisms that insects use to move their antennae. The project, led by Clemson University, investigates the structure, function, and biomechanics of insect antennae to provide insights into how they enable insects to navigate and sense their environment. The research aims to develop strategies for designing...
- This $1,400,000.00 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research on the phylogenetics and evolutionary genetics of sexual dimorphism in bagworm moths. The research will involve collecting global bagworm species, constructing a phylogeny to understand evolutionary transitions in sexual dimorphism, and generating genomic resources to uncover the genetic mechanisms controlling sexually dimorphic development. Key goals...
