The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $238,718 Project Grant to Auburn University to study the biogeography and ecology of diversification in the freshwater fish family Leuciscidae (minnows) following their migration to North America. The research will reconstruct the evolutionary phylogeny of Leuciscidae using new genome sequencing data, investigate the timing and number of migrations to North America, and study how species distributions and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Parallel Genome and Phenome Evolution within and across Fish Species" from December 2021 through November 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote advancement in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major challenges. Through this two-year award,...
This $891,697 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research to understand how fishes have adapted to the high pressure conditions of the deep ocean. The research will use techniques in genomics, chemistry, biophysics, and physiology to compare the genetic code and protein structures of fishes across habitat depths, from surface waters to the deepest ocean trenches. This will provide insights into how high...

The key activities include: Field collections of small vertebrates (amphibians, lizards, mammals) at four sites on Marajo Island Acquisition of genomic data from the collected samples and historical specimens from the Amazon basin Phylogenetic and population...
This $276,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and training from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024. The fellowship recipient will conduct integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments and phenotypes in evolutionary biology. Specifically, the fellow will study mechanisms connecting short-term plastic behavioral responses to long-term evolutionary change. Using a pupfish system with specialist and...
This federal Project Grant award of $432,357 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand how fishes have adapted to high-pressure environments in the deep ocean. The research aims to: Characterize patterns of genome evolution across 100 species of perciform fishes found at depths ranging from 0-8,000 meters. Measure structural changes in key biomolecules involved in metabolism, cell movement, and stress responses across...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $569,812 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System to study the genetic mechanisms underlying repeated evolution of adaptations to extreme cave environments in certain species of fish. The research will employ cutting-edge sequencing and comparative genomics techniques to identify genetic variations associated with cave-adapted traits in three species of cavefish and their surface relatives. Functional...
This $450,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research project led by the Regents of the University of Michigan to study the evolutionary history and ecological changes of cichlid fishes. The project aims to: (i) Leverage computed tomography (CT) scanning to develop a comprehensive morphological database for both modern and fossil cichlid specimens, enabling their integration into a...
This $1,297,896 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will support research by Texas A&M University to investigate the evolutionary and neurogenomic mechanisms underlying species discrimination and behavioral isolation in North American stream fishes. The project will integrate genomic, transcriptomic, and functional approaches to connect patterns of behavioral, neural, and genomic variation within species to the larger processes of...
This Project Grant award of $240,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the evolutionary consequences of genetic rescue. The project will use data from an experiment with Trinidadian guppies to investigate the genomic basis and adaptive potential of populations following genetic rescue interventions. The fellow will also lead a summer field course for undergraduates at...
