The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Cornell University a $760,528 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research on the regulatory basis of repeated color pattern evolution in butterflies. The research aims to address fundamental questions about the structure, function, and evolution of cis-regulatory elements, which play an essential role in phenotypic evolution by regulating gene expression patterns during development....
This $1,137,520 National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant awarded to Clemson University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to conduct integrative functional and quantitative genomics research on butterfly wing color and patterning. The work will identify the genetic architecture of a polygenic and polymorphic phenotype found in male butterflies, study the evolutionary processes underlying its adaptive gain, and test hypotheses about how this phenotype is driving...
This $419,230 five-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will evaluate the contribution of sensory drive to the divergence of flower color in plant species. Led by Clemson University researchers, the project aims to understand how flower color may evolve differently between populations without major shifts in pollinator species by studying populations of Phacelia dubia, a bee-pollinated...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $334,317 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the College of New Jersey to investigate the interactions between phenotypic plasticity and natural selection in the formation of new species of threespine stickleback fish. The 3-year research project will examine recently-established lake populations of stickleback near Anchorage, Alaska to determine if individual phenotypic changes in body size affect mating behavior...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program grant of $502,593 awarded to the Board of Trustees of Illinois State University supports a research project on extra-pair reproduction in a house wren population. The project will collect genetic and behavioral data to investigate whether female house wrens choose to mate with neighboring males that can provide better genes for their offspring compared to their social mates. It will also examine how female and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $901,045 Project Grant to the Reed Institute, doing business as Reed College, with an award date of August 1, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2028. This grant will fund research entitled "RUI: ON THE ORIGIN OF GENETIC VARIATION: INVESTIGATING THE CAUSES OF VARIATION IN MUTATION RATES AND SPECTRA." The research aims to advance the understanding of how genetic variation is...
This Project Grant award of $736,073 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to investigate variation in female choosiness during mate selection in crickets. The primary goals are to examine whether female crickets reliably differ in their choosiness for male song traits, quantify the heritability of choosiness, and identify the underlying genes that contribute to variation in this important reproductive behavior. The research will leverage...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $408,172 project grant to President and Trustees of Williams College under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The grant supports research titled "BEE: The Evolution of Fluctuation-Dependent Species Coexistence" from July 1, 2021 to November 30, 2022. The project aims to advance understanding of major problems in biology by investigating how fluctuations impact species coexistence. Regents of the University of...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure provides $138,000 in funding to support research contributions to variation in fitness in a wild bird population. The award period is from July 2021 through June 2023. The grant was awarded under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology Project Grant of $715,834 awarded to Trustees of Boston University aims to study the regulatory mechanisms underlying convergent evolution of color patterns in butterflies. The project will identify and functionally characterize cis-regulatory elements (CREs) that control the expression of two genes, Wnta and Optix, which are known to underlie adaptive color pattern variation within and between butterfly species. By...
