This $970,670 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research on how the sensory system of taste evolves in different fish populations. The researchers at the University of Cincinnati will examine genetic sequences, taste receptor distribution, and environmental chemistry to understand how fish have adapted their taste systems to survive in diverse aquatic habitats, including river/stream and cave environments. By...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA program 47.074 Biological Sciences provides $240,000 in funding from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The award will fund research investigating the anatomical, physiological, and behavioral mechanisms used by bony fishes for buoyancy regulation. The research aims to develop a predictive model of buoyancy regulation strategies based on fish ecology and phylogenetics. In addition to...
This $800,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Louisiana State University (LSU) to investigate the unique visual system of the four-eyed fish Anableps anableps. The researchers will utilize cutting-edge techniques like bulk and spatial RNA sequencing, and ATAC-sequencing, to gain a mechanistic understanding of the genetic and developmental basis for the fish's split corneas and retinal adaptations that...
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...
This $891,697 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports multidisciplinary research on how high-pressure ocean environments influence the evolution and adaptation of deep-sea fishes. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize patterns of genome evolution across a depth gradient of 100 fish species, 2) measure structural changes in biomolecules involved in metabolism, cell function, and stress response under...
