- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $494,261 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to conduct research on frog skin evolution and adaptations. The project aims to: 1) quantify how frog skin has evolved over the past 200 million years in response to abiotic and biotic factors, 2) experimentally test the ability of anuran skin to decouple respiration and water loss, and 3) incorporate...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award to the University of New Mexico (UNM) provides $610,890.00 from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2030 to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying host manipulation by ectoparasitoid wasps. The research aims to investigate how wasp venom proteins affect host metabolism and development across multiple wasp and host species, providing insights into the function of hundreds of venom proteins. This work has...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $635,938.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will fund research examining how increasing environmental variability impacts fitness trade-offs across complex life cycles, focusing on a salamander species in New Hampshire. Key objectives include studying how timing of metamorphosis affects juvenile and adult traits, survival, and population dynamics. Additionally, the research will...
