This three-year $632,382 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research to understand how behavioral adaptations in foraging effort by wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) and black-browed albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophris) may mitigate population declines due to climate change. The awardee, the Regents of the University of Colorado, will assess linkages between climate change, body condition, foraging effort,...
This two-year, $486,243 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research examining the impacts of ocean warming and thermal stratification on seabird populations globally. The Farallon Institute will analyze existing long-term data on plankton, small fish, and seabird breeding success across oceans to develop models linking thermal stratification at various ocean depths to productivity. Results aim to identify seabird species best suited...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $647,709 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to study how individual birds' ability to physiologically adapt to temperature changes impacts their survival and population responses to climate change. The 5-year project aims to: (1) quantify patterns of physiological flexibility across a thermal variability gradient; (2) measure the energetic costs of flexible phenotypic...
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 National Science Foundation Project Grant of $123,550 awarded to the University of South Carolina, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to develop new modeling techniques to predict shifts in the foraging patterns and spatial distribution of the endangered North Atlantic right whale in response to climate change. The key products of this 3-year project include: An integrated modeling framework that combines whale movement data, prey surveys, and genetic...
This $157,029 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) aims to investigate the impact of climate-driven changes in prey quality on the bioenergetics and population productivity of common terns in the Gulf of Maine. The project will leverage reproductive data, fecal DNA analysis, and GPS tracking to assess the relationship between prey quality, predator energetics, and population-level productivity. The award will also provide...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $415,682 to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation to conduct research on the effects of ocean warming on a coastal fish species. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify genetic variation in temperature response, 2) determine if local adaptation to temperature exists, and 3) assess whether evolutionary changes can occur quickly enough to impact population...
This $666,910 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Stony Brook University. The project, titled "NSFGEO-NERC: Environmental Drivers of Giant Petrel Energetics, and Implications for Population Trends and Predation Pressure in the Southern Ocean", aims to develop a mechanistic model linking environmental variability in wind and sea ice...
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 $687,357 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to study repeated evolution in a diverse group of alpine beetles. The researchers will explore whether natural selection has acted on the same molecular pathways as species adapted to alpine environments during past climate cycles. Comparative genomic and stress tolerance experiments will test for evidence of repeated evolution and identify the genetic mechanisms...
