This $753,082 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to understand how behavioral adaptations in foraging effort by wandering albatrosses and black-browed albatrosses may mitigate population declines due to climate change. The grant funds development of eco-evolutionary matrix population models incorporating climate scenarios to forecast population trends and persistence...
This $647,709 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research conducted by the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to study interindividual variation in acclimatization capacity and its impact on animal populations' responsiveness to climate change. The key objectives are to: (1) quantify patterns of physiological flexibility in the dark-eyed junco songbird across a temperature variability gradient; (2)...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $484,536 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to Colorado State University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will support research examining how two related alpine songbird species, the brown-capped rosy-finch and Sierra Nevada gray-crowned rosy-finch, have combined movement, evolutionary adaptation, and behavioral adjustment strategies to persist in extreme high-altitude...
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...
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 award of $500,179 supports research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to be conducted from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 by the University of California Santa Cruz. The research will examine how two related alpine songbird species, the brown-capped rosy-finch and Sierra Nevada gray-crowned rosy-finch, have combined movement, evolutionary adaptation, and behavioral adjustment strategies to persist in...
This $159,804 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research study to synthesize long-term, multi-site data on the demographic responses of two tundra plant species to environmental variation across western North America. The goal is to understand how climate-driven changes in survival, growth, and reproduction of these plant populations could impact their geographical ranges. The research team at the...
This $112,243 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project between the University of California - Merced and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The project aims to reconstruct and analyze the dynamics of historical and paleo-ecosystems, with a focus on understanding how marine communities have responded to climate change and resource exploitation over time, particularly...
This federal Project Grant award of $270,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the genetic and functional bases of rapid phenotypic evolution in birds. The project will characterize the production and evolution of structural white coloration in feathers across three bird clades, investigating the phenotype-environment associations and genetic adaptations underlying this...
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,...
