This $484,370 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research into the challenges of living small for diminutive mammals. The Field Museum of Natural History will leverage the taxonomic diversity of shrews, moles, hedgehogs, and solenodons to quantify selective pressures on vertebral bone strength and stiffness at small sizes. Researchers will use 3D imaging, computer modeling, and physical testing to assess how lumbar spines have...
This $484,314 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The funding will support research at Christopher Newport University to investigate the "microbiota-gut-brain axis" and the impact of intestinal barrier dysfunction on aging and neurodegeneration. Key objectives include gaining insights into the cellular and molecular changes associated with an aging gut, how...
This $450,000 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research into the relationship between primate gut microbiomes and behavioral traits. The University of Massachusetts will analyze behavioral and fecal samples from wild nonhuman primates to quantify the taxonomic diversity of gut microbes through 16S rRNA gene sequencing and identify functional genes through metagenomic sequencing. The research aims to examine potential associations between gut microbiome diversity, behavioral...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $279,943 Project Grant to the University of Oregon to conduct collaborative research on the evolution of North American small mammal communities in response to landscape changes from the Oligocene to Miocene epochs (30 to 5 million years ago). The project aims to understand the relationship between vegetation and mammalian communities, with a focus on how small mammals respond to habitat changes over time. The research will integrate fieldwork to...
