This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $371,044 provides funding for research on the evolution and ecology of the mutualistic and parasitic relationships between leafflower plants and leafflower moths. The award supports four master's students at the University of Texas Permian Basin, a Hispanic-serving institution, to study the genetics, microbiology, and diversity of these moths in Texas, the southeastern United States, and Puerto...
This Project Grant award of $188,491 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research study on the symbiotic relationship between grasses and their fungal microbes. The primary research objectives are to understand how these host-microbe symbioses influence the health and stability of grass populations, particularly in response to fluctuations in environmental conditions. The study involves a long-term demographic experiment...
Texas Tech University was awarded an $862,082 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) on May 15, 2023 for work to be completed by April 30, 2028. Under this award, Texas Tech University will conduct research on the co-evolution of carpenter ant hosts and their bacterial endosymbionts across the North American landscape using whole genome sequencing. The University will measure genetic...

The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to study how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi impacts pollination and plant fitness in anthropogenically disturbed environments. The grant, provided under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research from August 2021 to July 2023 exploring how the symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi is impacted by human disturbances and influences plant reproduction. The Biological Sciences program aims to...
This $344,201 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into seed-fungal interactions and their influence on tropical tree recruitment. Specifically, the Utah State University-led collaborative effort will examine how seed chemistry impacts susceptibility to fungal infection and pathogenicity. It will also explore how the physical environment and maternal genotype influence fungal community composition and host susceptibility across landscape scales in Panama. Combining...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,599,274 Project Grant to Utah State University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to study the context-dependent effects of nectar microbes on pollination mutualisms. Over a three-year period from June 2022 to May 2025, the awardee will explore how nectar microbes affect cooperation between plants and floral visitors using wildflowers and their microbial residents in floral nectar as a model system. Key deliverables...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The grant supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on examining priority effects within and between fungal symbiont guilds associated with a native grass species, Schizachyrium scoparium. The research will manipulate the order of arrival of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and root endophytic fungi to...
