- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program ($937,251) funds research into scaling climate connectivity and communities in streams. Led by Pennsylvania State University from March 2022 through December 2023, the grant supports a three-year field study across 10 regions in the southern, central, and western U.S. Researchers will collect streamflow and biological data to investigate differences between intermittent and perennial streams. The University...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $444,570 to The University of South Dakota (USD) to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms that explain continental-scale patterns in the size spectra of organisms in freshwater stream ecosystems. The research aims to understand how energy flow, a crucial ecological process, shapes the distribution and abundance of different species across aquatic habitats. By leveraging...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $167,390 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for the "Collaborative Research: Biodiversity Dynamics" project. This 3-year project, running from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027, will integrate rapid assessment technologies such as satellite, helicopter, drone, and ground-based monitoring to measure the velocity and extent of non-native...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $635,938.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will fund research examining how increasing environmental variability impacts fitness trade-offs across complex life cycles, focusing on a salamander species in New Hampshire. Key objectives include studying how timing of metamorphosis affects juvenile and adult traits, survival, and population dynamics. Additionally, the research will...
- This $793,094 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund research at the University of Colorado to quantify how global environmental changes, such as drought and warming, impact biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The project aims to transform understanding of the causal mechanisms by which biodiversity responds to global change drivers and how those biodiversity changes then feed back to alter productivity and other ecosystem...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $524,000 will support the development of network-based models to evaluate functional biodiversity responses to climate change and species invasions in marine biological communities. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), this award reflects NSF's mission to promote biological sciences research and strengthen the scientific enterprise. Specifically, researchers at the University of California, Davis will leverage long-term...
- 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 $311,397 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to integrate mathematical models and microcosm experiments to understand the effects of disturbances, such as fire, drought, and flooding, on community interactions in biological systems. The key objectives of the 3-year project (Aug 2024 - Jul 2027) are to: 1) Determine the differential impacts of pulse (short-term) versus press (long-term)...
- This $2.9 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Emerging Frontiers will fund research from 2023 to 2027 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). Oregon State University will lead a collaborative effort to study the resilience of freshwater ecosystems under changing climate conditions. Researchers will test how biodiversity and individual variation among species affect an ecosystem's ability to withstand environmental changes. They will conduct...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $134,250 awarded on January 1, 2023 will fund research examining the roles of stochasticity and spatial context in the dynamics of functional diversity in stream ecosystems under global change. The research will be conducted through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) in collaboration between the University of Maryland Baltimore County and the University System of Maryland. The project aims to advance understanding of how community size and stream network structure interact to impact ecosystem functioning and responses to climate change. Researchers will conduct intensive surveys of macroinvertebrates across network positions in both the U.S. and Brazil to analyze how demographic stochasticity shapes community assembly relative to environmental selection under varying climates. Modeling will then extrapolate the results into predictions of functional composition variability under future climate scenarios. Findings seek to elucidate how stream ecosystems may respond to global change through December 31, 2025.
