- The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $517,154 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences Geosciences program to conduct collaborative research on the changing trophic (feeding) niches of large herbivorous fish on coral reefs. The 3-year project aims to: (a) define the feeding behaviors and diets of key herbivorous fish species on healthy coral reefs using field observations, traditional diet analysis, isotopic tracers, and DNA metabarcoding; and...
- This is a Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) in the amount of $370,635. The award will fund research to characterize the effects of heat, low oxygen, and their combination on a reef-building coral across different life history stages, from larvae to adult. The research will be conducted at a coral reef site in Bermuda, with the goal of improving understanding of how corals respond to environmental stressors and informing...
- This $472,597 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on the photophysiology and bio-optics of mesophotic coral reef ecosystems in the Red Sea. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the research will employ an interdisciplinary approach including fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and advanced imaging to establish the light-harvesting properties of corals thriving at depths with extremely limited light availability. Specifically, the team will collect and...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $298,357 supports research investigating coral demographic processes and their interaction with climate change and local stressors to influence coral recovery trajectories. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support analysis of time series coral size-frequency data across four Pacific regions to assess demographic rates following bleaching events and evaluate their importance in driving recovery dynamics....
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $370,100 awarded to the University of Rhode Island from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 will fund research investigating the impacts of ocean warming on the symbiotic nutritional exchange between microbes and reef-building corals during early life stages. As part of the Geosciences program under the CFDA 47.050, the awardee will characterize the development of the coral-algal symbiosis across life histories in Hawaiian and French...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a $783,165 research project titled "The Role of Diel Thermal Variability on Coral Performance" at Boston University. The project aims to understand how differences in diel thermal variability (DTV) influence the plasticity of coral thermal physiology and molecular function, focusing on the coral species Siderastrea siderea across sites in Bocas del Toro, Panama. The key...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $134,502 Project Grant to the Smithsonian Institution to conduct collaborative research on the changing trophic niches of large herbivorous fish on modern coral reefs. This study under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to: (1) define the feeding behaviors and diets of herbivorous fishes on healthy coral reefs using traditional and cutting-edge techniques to quantify resource partitioning, and (2) determine...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $367,639 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The funding supports collaborative research to define the feeding behaviors and diets of herbivorous fishes on healthy coral reefs using a combination of field observations, traditional diet tracing methods, compound-specific isotopes, and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $932,086 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of Michigan. This collaborative research project will use ancient DNA approaches to reconstruct the environmental impacts on coral reefs. Specifically, the researchers will measure the chemistry of coral skeletons and analyze the preserved DNA to understand how corals and their microbes respond to changes in the reef...
- This five-year, $3 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the University of Colorado Boulder, Cornell University, Florida Atlantic University, and the University of New Mexico to develop methods for understanding how the functioning and dynamics of complex ecological interaction networks emerge and respond to environmental change. The researchers will measure multivalent interactions among fish and other...
