This $535,370 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at Syracuse University to study the effects of warming temperatures and biotic interactions on aphid population dynamics. The research aims to improve understanding of factors affecting insect herbivore abundance under current and future climate scenarios. Key aspects of the project include: Conducting field experiments in a Rocky Mountain...
This $158,371 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund collaborative research on the integrated dynamics between plants and aphids mediated by above- and below-ground mutualisms in a rapidly warming Rocky Mountain ecosystem. The research aims to: Integrate the direct effects of temperature on aphid development with indirect effects driven by shifts in above- and below-ground ecological interactions. Assess...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $288,060 to Kent State University to study the effects of warming temperatures and biotic interactions on aphid populations in a Rocky Mountain ecosystem. The key objectives are to: (1) integrate the direct effects of temperature on aphid development with indirect effects driven by shifts in above- and belowground interactions, (2) assess local adaptation within plant-aphid...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Predicting How Climate Change Will Impact Insect Adaptation to Host Plant Resistance" from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct basic research promoting progress in the biological sciences and strengthening understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, the two-year grant will fund research...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the impacts of climate change on insect phenotypes, populations, and communities. The research aims to: 1) build a model to estimate how insect traits like body size and developmental timing respond to temperature variation, 2) quantify how these phenotypic changes affect population dynamics, and 3) determine how...
The National Science Foundation awarded a three-year, $240,000 Project Grant to support research investigating the effects of temperature on community assembly of nectar microbes in a native North American plant species. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the fellowship will allow the grantee to study temperature responses of nectar microbe growth rates and model species interactions under experimental conditions simulating different temperature regimes. Key products...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $716,280 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana. The grant funds a collaborative research project to investigate the potential impacts of climate change on the interactions between parasitic botfly larvae and high-elevation deer mice populations. The research aims to develop predictive models for how novel host-parasite dynamics may evolve under shifting environmental...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $739,066 Project Grant to Duke University to examine how a model one-celled organism, Tetrahymena thermophila, adapts to changing temperatures. The funded research, part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to resolve critical gaps in understanding how rapid global climate change may affect the evolution of protist growth rates and respiration, with potential implications for both climate change and public health. The 5-year...
This $439,396 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Duke University from September 2022 to August 2025 to develop a model microbial consortium for interrogating organic matter decomposition and carbon cycling in coastal systems under changing environmental conditions. Researchers will integrate field, laboratory, and modeling work to examine the functional roles and responses to temperature variation of diverse...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000.00, to be carried out from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The research will focus on quantifying the diversity and climate change response in the Chamaecrista fasciculata-rhizobial symbiosis. The project will leverage the partridge pea plant and its associated rhizobial bacteria to evaluate how climate change impacts plant-microbial interactions, with the goal of...
