This $425,200 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Arizona State University from July 2022 through June 2024 towards understanding responses to climate change and invasion vulnerability in drylands of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The research will combine geospatial techniques such as species distribution modeling with a trait-based methodology to assess amphibian species' vulnerability to...
This Project Grant award of $270,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate the proximate origins and ecological and evolutionary consequences of resource polyphenism in the Mexican spadefoot toad. The research will examine how plastic responses in tadpole development originate and impact individuals later in life, with the goal of better predicting how organisms can respond to rapid...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $345,619 to Cornell University, from October 1, 2024 to November 30, 2026, will fund research to investigate the impacts of sea level rise and saltwater intrusion on coastal amphibian species. The project aims to improve understanding of the salinity tolerance limits of frog and toad species occupying coastal habitats on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. Using an experimental approach, the research will...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research aimed at incorporating behavioral science insights into models for predicting the eco-evolutionary responses of North American bird species to climate change. The $901,999 award to the University of Texas at Austin, spanning August 2024 to July 2027, will leverage indicators of behavioral flexibility, such as relative brain size, to improve forecasts of changes in...
This Project Grant award of $116,555.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a research project at the University of Arizona to investigate biological invasions across spatial scales. The project aims to compile an open-access database of species invasion data from the National Ecological Observatory Network and analyze it using advanced statistical methods. The goal is to better understand the relative roles of propagule pressure, abiotic...
This $664,796 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project that aims to investigate the vulnerability of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog prey in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest to climate change impacts. The research team at Colorado State University will leverage cutting-edge genomics, physiology, and computational modeling to assess thermal adaptation, adaptive capacity,...
Colorado State University was awarded a $121,120 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research from June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023. The award will support research to test the mechanisms and consequences of an adaptive response to a catastrophic fire and heatwave in stream frogs. Specifically, the researchers will measure physiological, genetic, and other changes that...
This $391,336 National Science Foundation project grant funds research on linking host life history, movement ecology, and climate to predict disease outbreaks in tropical amphibian communities. The Division of Environmental Biology award supports a collaborative research effort between May 2022 and November 2023. Key products include field surveys of infection patterns in diverse amphibian populations across three tropical regions, an experimental manipulation of rainfall variability to test...
This National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $515,158 to The University of Texas at San Antonio from October 2022 to September 2025. The award will support research to develop next-generation species distribution models that integrate organism-level bioenergetic budgets with community-level predator-prey interactions. Researchers will conduct laboratory experiments and field studies on fish populations in Southern Appalachian streams...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology provides $199,926 to the University of South Carolina from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The funding supports research titled "EAGER: Testing for Genes Associated with Migratory Behavior in a Peripatetic Species" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The goal of the research is to test for genes associated with migratory behavior using a species known to travel...
