This $442,310 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology supports a 5-year field research study on the Scarlet Monkeyflower (Mimulus cardinalis), a plant species found across varied climates in western North America. The research aims to understand how different climates influence the survival, growth, and reproduction of this plant species, and how this affects population persistence in the face of climate change. The study involves...
The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded $206,971 to the University of California, Merced under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The four-year project grant will support collaborative research to harness adaptive genetic variation in drought resistance strategies to manage plant populations under climate change. Researchers will characterize how genetic variation acts through regulatory networks to adaptively tune organismal...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $352,942 supports research into the ecological and evolutionary responses of the iconic California poppy to increasing aridity across its range from 2023 to 2027. The University of Connecticut, as prime awardee, will conduct field observations, greenhouse experiments, population genetics analyses, and species distribution modeling to improve predictions of species persistence under climate change. Researchers will study genetic variation in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $656,273 to the University of Montana to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms and consequences of centromere drive in monkeyflowers. The project aims to investigate how genes and DNA sequences cause selfish centromere drive, how plants resist this drive, and the impacts on seed and pollen production. The research team will leverage new chromosome-scale genome...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $240,000 supports research investigating the genomic consequences of hybridization in the Mimulus guttatus complex from June 2023 through May 2026. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award enables a postdoctoral research fellowship for integrative research on the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes during speciation. The fellow will use genomic analyses and greenhouse crosses to...
This $1,545,144 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports research at Michigan State University to understand the genetic, developmental, morphological, and physiological mechanisms of local adaptation of the coastal ecotype of Mimulus guttatus to oceanic salt spray. The three-year award, issued on June 1, 2022 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research divided into three aims. The first aim examines avoidance of salt spray through compact growth and late...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund a 3-year NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship supports research to understand the biological mechanisms that enable plants to adapt to drought stress and climate variability. The research will examine genetic and phenotypic differences in the yellow monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus) that confer drought tolerance across diverse environmental...
This Project Grant award of $533,020 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project between ecologists and microbiologists at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) to study the role of soil microbes in improving the resistance of drylands to climate change-driven soil degradation. The key research activities include: 1) characterizing the heat and drought resistance of common dryland microbe species, 2) discovering how to...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $500,611 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to support research into the mechanisms of altitudinal range expansion by plant species under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The University Enterprises Corporation at California State University, San Bernardino will analyze historical and contemporary plant samples to elucidate patterns of adaptation that have allowed the model species Arabidopsis...
This Project Grant award of $306,789.00 from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) supports collaborative research by the University of Nevada, Reno to investigate the impacts of drought and fire on tree species in western U.S. forests. The key products and services to be delivered under this 4-year award, which runs from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2029, include: Quantifying the adaptive traits of over 100 tree species in the western U.S. that help them tolerate drought...
