This $714,816 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the University of Washington from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The research aims to better understand how environmental health disparities in urban areas impact the trophic and disease dynamics of carnivore populations. Specifically, the project will examine links between toxicant exposure, altered diets, and disease risk for urban carnivores in...
This three-year, $240,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research into how urban environmental heterogeneity and societal inequity shape phenotypic traits in wildlife. The fellow will conduct field research in the San Francisco Bay Area comparing the behavior and physiology of raccoons across high- and low-income neighborhoods, as well as surrounding nonurban areas, to understand how variations in urban living conditions like pollution and green space availability...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $137,159 to support collaborative research investigating Pleistocene carnivore ecology and modern wolf populations. The University of California, Berkeley will lead efforts to study dire wolf and coyote dietary patterns at the McKittick asphalt seep and Rancho La Brea tar pits fossil sites to determine food web relationships and compare...
This three-year, $346,278 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research investigating Pleistocene carnivore ecology using fossil records from the McKittick asphalt seep and Rancho La Brea tar pits lagerstatte sites. The researchers will examine dietary patterns in dire wolves and coyotes through ecomorphology, tooth wear analysis, stable isotope analysis, and geochronology to determine food...
This $1,002,220 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to examine how climate variability affects the behavior and interactions of four species of large carnivores in Botswana, Africa. The goal is to better understand the mechanisms by which climate change modifies predation and competition among these top predators. The research will integrate behavioral observations, high-resolution GPS and accelerometer...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Science awarded a $599,988 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct an historical and ethnographic study on "The Agencies of Animal Governance in Los Angeles". The goal of this three-year project, starting on September 1, 2023, is to understand the cohabitation of humans and animals in American cities and how government agencies' approaches to urban animals have changed over...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $247,406 Project Grant to the University of Portland to conduct collaborative research on the multilevel effects of urbanization on wildlife health. The project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RUI: MULTILEVEL EFFECTS OF URBANIZATION ON WILDLIFE HEALTH: AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH", will study the impact of urban habitats on the health of the western deer mouse, a species found in both urban and rural...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $149,431 Project Grant to the University of California, Berkeley for research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: LTREB RENEWAL: LONG-TERM DYNAMICS OF AMPHIBIAN POPULATIONS FOLLOWING DISEASE-DRIVEN DECLINES." The grant period runs from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2027 under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The University of California, Berkeley will conduct collaborative research to study...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the complex factors that influence animal responses to climate change. The $240,000 award, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund a research and training plan with two key objectives: 1) Synthesize available data on climate-induced range shifts across mammal species to build predictive...
This $189,979 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research into continent-wide forest recruitment change and its interactions with climate, habitat, and consumers in North America. The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, will conduct the research from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2026. The research will quantify current trends and changes in forest regeneration...
