This $640,205 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program, will support research at Yale University on the multidimensional role of behavior in evolutionary adaptation. The project will investigate how organisms can use their behavior to influence the selective pressures they experience, with a focus on studying thermal regulation behavior in anole lizards. Key objectives include quantifying the genetic signatures of...
This $108,415 National Science Foundation project grant supports research entitled "Collaborative Research: Rapid: Genomic and Phenotypic Responses to Hurricane-Mediated Selection in an Invasive Lizard: Does Epistasis Constrain Evolution?" at the University of Rhode Island under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The project will study evolutionary responses to extreme weather events like hurricanes in invasive brown anole lizard populations in Florida. Researchers will...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Parallel Evolution of Lizards in Urban Heat Islands: Locomotor Performance, Muscle Physiology, and Gene Regulation." The grant falls under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems confronting the nation....
This Project Grant award of $270,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund a Postdoctoral Fellowship to investigate how lizards respond to temperature and humidity across different environments and as a function of their physical characteristics. The research aims to develop a framework linking lizard phenotypes to their environments via thermal physiology, leveraging ecomorphological replicates across the lizard genus Sceloporus. Key...
This two-year, $276,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds research and training through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to uncover the genomic and developmental basis of gliding structure evolution in gecko lizards. The fellowship recipient will characterize patagium development in multiple gecko species to determine if convergently evolved gliding membranes result from convergent or divergent cellular and developmental patterns. Using histology, apoptosis assays,...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund $240,000 over three years to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship will fund integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments, and phenotypes in driving the diversification of North American lizards during adaptive radiation. The fellow will generate reference genomes for Anolis lizards, apply cytogenetic techniques to...
This $769,770 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research at Ball State University from September 2022 through August 2025. The research aims to develop rigorous mathematical models describing the coordinated changes in form and function that occur through ontogeny in arboreal lizards. Researchers will conduct biomechanical experiments and morphological analysis on mourning geckos and three additional arboreal...
This two-year National Science Foundation project grant of $138,000 supports postdoctoral fellowship research titled "A Synthetic Biogeographic History of Iguanian Lizards" to be conducted in Austin, Texas from July 2021 through June 2023. The grant is funded through the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote biological research and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise.
