The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) received a $299,044 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research from July 2023 through June 2027. The award will support Penn State's efforts to study the molecular mechanisms regulating complex traits like body size and reproduction in natural populations of five reptile species across three universities. Researchers will compare mainland California and island populations to understand genetic and hormonal changes influencing insular dwarfism. They will integrate multi-level biological data to quantify relationships between growth hormone signaling and life history traits, evaluate genetic divergence, and assess cellular physiology and intracellular signaling divergence. Findings seek to identify which nodes in regulatory networks respond to ecological pressures and are shared across species. The research engages over 30 undergraduate and graduate students and high school teachers and will aid conservation and agriculture by developing reptile study tools and modules based on scientific findings.
