This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $645,270 to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) to conduct research aimed at informing full annual cycle conservation of migratory birds in the Appalachian Mountains region. The project will leverage emerging technologies like remote sensing, radar, and machine learning to map stopover habitat use and forest structure characteristics that...
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 $532,655 multi-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Utah State University (USU) to deepen the understanding of how birds respond to their environmental surroundings. The project aims to: 1) characterize the spatial scales at which hundreds of North American bird species respond to various environmental factors; 2) test hypotheses about the mechanisms generating these scale-dependent...
This $297,323 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The funding supports a collaborative research project to study how habitat structure, specifically the spatial arrangement of plants and resources, impacts avian biodiversity across local to continental scales. Using airborne and satellite Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, the project will explore the...
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...
This $1.6 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research from 2023-2026 titled "Using Continent-Wide Participatory Science to Model the Dynamic Outcomes for Humans and Birds in a Socio-Environmental System." The grant recipient, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, will partner with Cornell University, The Ohio State University, and the University of Georgia Research Foundation to engage over...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will provide $916,173 to Colorado State University to develop a conservation tool to help restore declining grassland bird populations across North America. The project will collect data on migratory patterns, genetic health, and reproductive output of three grassland bird species to identify effective conservation actions. This research will be used to build a user-friendly tool for...
This $199,049 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) supports research to understand how visits by migratory animals like birds, bats, and insects impact plants at stopover sites during their annual migrations. The primary objectives are to use computer modeling to examine how these migratory animals, through pollination, seed dispersal, and other ecological interactions, affect the growth and spread of...
This National Science Foundation award provides $159,259 to the University of Massachusetts Amherst through March 2024 to study the impacts of climate change and environmental pressures on long-distance migratory birds. Specifically, the award will support research tracking Hudsonian godwits throughout their annual migration cycle from Alaska to southern Chile using miniaturized tracking devices. The research aims to understand how changes occurring during different life cycle periods or...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $414,000 supports research investigating the role of migratory behavior in population divergence and speciation from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award will train a postdoctoral fellow in comparative phylogenetics and genomic analyses to study how animal migration contributes to the formation of new species. The fellow will test whether migratory lineages have higher...
