- 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) 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $367,639 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The funding supports collaborative research to define the feeding behaviors and diets of herbivorous fishes on healthy coral reefs using a combination of field observations, traditional diet tracing methods, compound-specific isotopes, and...

- This federal Project Grant award of $879,321 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to the University of Texas at Austin. The award, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: PURSUIT: THE FINAL FRONTIER OF VERTEBRATE TAXONOMY: DOCUMENTING THE DIVERSITY OF CRYPTOBENTHIC CORAL REEF FISHES IN THE INDO-PACIFIC", will fund research to explore and document the diversity of a group of tiny, understudied "cryptobenthic"...
- The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $595,062 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system. Under the three-year award beginning September 2021, the University will assess the long-term stability of adaptive radiations using the fossil record. The products will include analyses of how species groups...
- This two-year, $299,082 National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences project grant will support research into using ancient DNA to illuminate the fate of Caribbean coral reefs. The principal investigator at the University of Texas at Austin will expand on prior work demonstrating the ability to sequence ancient DNA from coral fragments up to 6,000 years old. The project will compare corals and their microbes from Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands over the past few thousand years,...
- This five-year, $3 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the University of Colorado Boulder, Cornell University, Florida Atlantic University, and the University of New Mexico to develop methods for understanding how the functioning and dynamics of complex ecological interaction networks emerge and respond to environmental change. The researchers will measure multivalent interactions among fish and other...
