The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $134,502 Project Grant to the Smithsonian Institution to conduct collaborative research on the changing trophic niches of large herbivorous fish on modern coral reefs. This study under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to: (1) define the feeding behaviors and diets of herbivorous fishes on healthy coral reefs using traditional and cutting-edge techniques to quantify resource partitioning, and (2) determine...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant of $328,414.00 awarded to Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in East Boothbay, Maine will fund collaborative research to reveal the changing trophic niches (feeding behaviors and diets) of large herbivorous fish on modern coral reefs. The objectives are to (a) define the feeding behaviors and diets of herbivorous fishes on healthy coral reefs using traditional and cutting-edge techniques to better quantify resource...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the effects of corallivorous (coral-eating) fish feces on coral symbiont acquisition and health. The $328,131 award, effective October 1, 2024 through April 30, 2027, will be conducted by the University of California, Berkeley. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify the contribution of corallivorous fish feces to coral symbiont acquisition, and 2) test the extent to...
The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $517,154 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences Geosciences program to conduct collaborative research on the changing trophic (feeding) niches of large herbivorous fish on coral reefs. The 3-year project aims to: (a) define the feeding behaviors and diets of key herbivorous fish species on healthy coral reefs using field observations, traditional diet analysis, isotopic tracers, and DNA metabarcoding; and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate the movement of key elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus through coral reef fish communities in Belize. The $672,065 grant awarded on September 1, 2024 will fund research to uncover the origin and flow of these vital elements, as well as reveal relationships between benthic structural complexity and elemental fluxes across different spatial scales. The project...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $252,096 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research quantifying energy fluxes on coral reefs from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. The research will combine emerging technologies to examine how characteristics of small coral reef patches such as temperature, wave energy, architecture, and cryptic species assemblages shape reliance on different organisms to sustain larger reef fishes....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, provides $240,000 in funding from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The fellowship will investigate how interactions among individual coral reef fishes drive ecosystem-scale function in coral reef environments. The research will integrate field and laboratory studies to uncover the relationship between individual behavioral...
This $472,597 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on the photophysiology and bio-optics of mesophotic coral reef ecosystems in the Red Sea. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the research will employ an interdisciplinary approach including fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and advanced imaging to establish the light-harvesting properties of corals thriving at depths with extremely limited light availability. Specifically, the team will collect and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $314,306 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. This 2-year grant, effective October 1, 2024, will support a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate the oceanographic and ecological factors affecting the abundance and distribution of mesopelagic organisms in the California Current ecosystem. The research aims to improve understanding of how...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify the temporal patterns and drivers of fish-mediated ecosystem functions, such as biomass production, nutrient cycling, and piscivory, across six European Large Marine Ecosystems over a 40-year period. The $393,925 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will integrate fish monitoring data, bioenergetics modeling, and statistical inference to map the spatiotemporal...
