This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $482,979 supported research at the University of Texas at Austin from January 2023 to December 2025 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The award funded a collaborative research project to study the brown-capped rosy-finch and Sierra Nevada gray-crowned rosy-finch. The research aims to establish a pre-climate change baseline for the species using museum specimens and examine current coping strategies across their...
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,...
This $240,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate how interspecific interactions and local climate factors influence the distribution of two species of lake fish under climate change scenarios. The research aims to understand the implications of competition and thermal tolerance on the future distributions of a warm-water generalist species (largemouth bass) and a cool-water...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $744,781 provides funding to the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the genetic and energetic basis of mitonuclear incompatibilities during the formation of new species in swordtail fish (Xiphophorus). The research aims to identify specific combinations of mitochondrial and nuclear genes that create reproductive barriers in hybridizing populations, leading to the development of new...
This federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $800,000 to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. over a 3-year period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The award aims to improve understanding of what constrains the geographic distributions of species, both currently and under future climate change scenarios. The project will integrate demographic methods into species distribution models (SDMs) to...
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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $141,389 Project Grant to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Division of Research & Innovation on May 15, 2021 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant supports collaborative research to quantify the response of stream ecosystems to punctuated cold-stress disturbances across a semi-arid to sub-humid gradient. The research aims to increase scientific knowledge and understanding...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded on August 15, 2024 for $214,838, will support collaborative research to study how local adaptation and climatic extremes shape continental-scale changes in distribution and abundance under climate change. The project will use transplant experiments and long-term monitoring of two widespread tundra plant species across 29 populations in western North America. The research aims to develop...
This $671,535 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining the recovery trajectories of prey communities after the removal of non-native predator species, such as fish, from mountain lakes in the Sierra Nevada region of California. The key objectives are to elucidate the connections between taxonomic and functional recovery of these ecosystems, identify indicators of community vulnerability based on...
This $450,260 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research by the University of Montana to investigate the vulnerabilities of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog prey to climate change in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The research team will use a multidisciplinary approach combining DNA sequencing, physiology experiments, and computer modeling to test hypotheses about the thermal sensitivities and...
