The National Science Foundation awarded a $276,000 Project Grant to support an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct integrative research investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes in filter feeding baleen whales and basking sharks.

The fellowship will fund anatomical research and engineering tests to identify the filtration mechanisms and performance of oral filters composed of mineralized keratin bristles in these giant vertebrate lineages. By gaining new insights into the physiology of ecologically important and endangered species, the research aims to clarify why the largest animals to ever live adopted filter feeding and their role as ecosystem engineers. Results have potential applications for bioinspired industrial filtration systems. Outcomes will further the Biological Sciences program goal of strengthening the biological sciences enterprise and increasing scientific understanding of major national problems.
