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 Project Grant award of $116,555.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a research project at the University of Arizona to investigate biological invasions across spatial scales. The project aims to compile an open-access database of species invasion data from the National Ecological Observatory Network and analyze it using advanced statistical methods. The goal is to better understand the relative roles of propagule pressure, abiotic...
Colorado State University was awarded a $121,120 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research from June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023. The award will support research to test the mechanisms and consequences of an adaptive response to a catastrophic fire and heatwave in stream frogs. Specifically, the researchers will measure physiological, genetic, and other changes that...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) will fund a $499,999 research project at Arizona State University (ASU) to explore the dynamics of knowledge development and utilization in the field of biodiversity conservation. The project will compare the conservation knowledge referenced in Endangered Species Act recovery plans and delisting determinations to determine whether the "best available...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,000 will fund research considering evolutionary responses to temperature variability when predicting risk to climate change and disease in amphibians. The award was made under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral fellowship investigating how the fungal pathogen Batrachochytridium dendrobatidis increases vulnerability of the northern cricket frog to temperature variability. Over a three...
This Project Grant award of $461,914, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, supports a collaborative research project at Cornell University to study the evolution of frog skin and its implications for climate change vulnerability and ecology. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) quantify how frog skin has evolved over the past 200 million years and in response to various abiotic and biotic factors; 2) experimentally test...
This Project Grant award of $1,275,000 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program will support fundamental research on dryland ecosystems in the Jornada Basin of the southwestern United States. The primary research goals are to study the shift from grasslands to shrub-dominated landscapes, including examining the effects on carbon and nutrient cycling, wind and water erosion, and plant-animal interactions. The award will fund field...
This $880,393 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill examining the role of behavior in species range expansion. Specifically, the research will evaluate how dispersal-promoting behaviors and hybridization may enable a grassland-adapted spadefoot toad species to expand its range into desert habitats in the southwestern U.S....
This $391,336 National Science Foundation project grant funds research on linking host life history, movement ecology, and climate to predict disease outbreaks in tropical amphibian communities. The Division of Environmental Biology award supports a collaborative research effort between May 2022 and November 2023. Key products include field surveys of infection patterns in diverse amphibian populations across three tropical regions, an experimental manipulation of rainfall variability to test...
This $180,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports postdoctoral research examining taxon-specific responses to aridity gradients in small mammals over time and across space in the northwestern Great Basin of the United States. The awardee will analyze small mammal bones deposited in caves over the past 16,000 years to test hypotheses about species sensitivity to climate drying and whether ongoing changes in climate or land use pose a...
