The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $259,330 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Pittsburgh. This 1-year grant, awarded on May 1, 2024, will support research on "The Datafied Animal: Biologging, Machine Learning and Wildlife Conservation." The project will analyze the ethical, social, and practical implications of using new technologies like miniaturized animal tags, GPS-telemetry, and machine learning...
This $677,674 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support the development of a bioinspired sensor attachment device for long-term monitoring of critically endangered marine organisms. The project aims to design and test a non-invasive tagging system modeled after the natural adhesion mechanisms of remora fish, which can attach to surfaces underwater without causing harm. The initial demonstrator model will be...
This $690,650 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development and testing of a field-ready, cost-effective sound playback system for conducting eco-acoustic and marine larval settlement studies. The system will enable researchers to easily manipulate and introduce sound cues in field experiments to investigate how sound impacts diverse marine fauna, with a focus on coral reef ecosystems. The 2-year effort will build,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) project grant awarded to the University of South Carolina for $199,814 from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026 will test how environmental variability and geographic distance between populations affect fluctuations in population size over time. The project will use observational data and theoretical models to assess the relationship between environmental variability and population dynamics, examine the underlying...
This $354,138 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) supports Colorado State University's development of an animal-borne adaptive acoustic environmental monitoring system. Colorado State University's Sponsored Programs division will utilize the funding to create a wearable acoustic monitoring device and associated machine learning tools to allow wildlife to serve as mobile sensors. This will enable...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology Project Grant for $146,066 awarded to Furman University will leverage machine learning techniques to better understand biodiversity patterns measured through passive acoustic sampling. The key activities and deliverables include: Advancing the analysis of acoustic data from diverse ecosystems to address three lines of inquiry: i) how noise affects bird vocalizations and communications, ii) quantification of acoustic indices...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The grant funds postdoctoral research examining the neural integration of acoustic signals across reproductive states in female birds. Consistent with the program's goal of advancing the biological sciences, this award will enhance understanding of how the brain processes sounds differently during breeding...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 from March 1, 2025 to February 29, 2028 supports a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate the sensorimotor behavioral dynamics of echolocating bats during collective flight. The research will analyze the echolocation sounds and flight behaviors of multiple bat species to understand how they dynamically adjust their echolocation in the presence of other bats. This work aims to...
