Project Grant 2245513
- 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, under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), awarded Carroll College a $179,949 Project Grant to study the multilevel effects of urbanization on the health of the western deer mouse. This 3-year research project aims to identify the key factors that impact wildlife health in urban areas, as the deer mouse inhabits both urban and rural environments. Researchers will collect data on habitat characteristics and mouse health metrics, such as immune function...
- 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's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining how climate change impacts microbial symbionts and their interactions with terrestrial organisms, particularly aphids. The $589,012 grant awarded to Drexel University on August 15, 2023 will fund a collaborative research project studying the mechanisms by which temperature changes disrupt protective symbiont relationships, and conversely, how symbionts may...
- This $159,804 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research study to synthesize long-term, multi-site data on the demographic responses of two tundra plant species to environmental variation across western North America. The goal is to understand how climate-driven changes in survival, growth, and reproduction of these plant populations could impact their geographical ranges. The research team at the...
- This $793,094 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund research at the University of Colorado to quantify how global environmental changes, such as drought and warming, impact biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The project aims to transform understanding of the causal mechanisms by which biodiversity responds to global change drivers and how those biodiversity changes then feed back to alter productivity and other ecosystem...
- This $664,796 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project that aims to investigate the vulnerability of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog prey in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest to climate change impacts. The research team at Colorado State University will leverage cutting-edge genomics, physiology, and computational modeling to assess thermal adaptation, adaptive capacity,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) provides $300,663 to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science (UEI: LRYDDL8NSAC4) to conduct collaborative research on terrestrial biodiversity dynamics during the Cretaceous Thermal Maximum (KTM), a critical case study for understanding the potential impacts of global temperature rise on ecosystems. The research aims to generate freely accessible databases on temperature,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $307,382 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Boise State University. The three-year grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund research to measure how climate change may disrupt the species interactions that shape local adaptation in big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) populations. The project will integrate field and lab-based reciprocal transplant experiments, soil microbiome...
- This $643,799 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program. The goal of this project is to test whether low oxygen levels at high elevations prevent animal species from shifting their ranges upslope in response to climate change pressures. Using dragonflies as a model organism, the research will integrate lab experiments and field surveys to assess how flight performance and dispersal ability are...
The University of Denver, through a $382,324.00 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences), is conducting collaborative research to investigate the potential impacts of climate change on the interaction between parasitic botflies and high-elevation deer mice. The research aims to determine whether botflies will expand into higher elevations as the climate warms, and how this may negatively affect deer mouse populations that currently do not encounter botflies at those elevations. The project will combine field physiology studies, demographic modeling, experimental manipulations, and genome re-sequencing to predict the future demographic consequences of botfly infections on deer mouse populations under climate change. The results will inform new curricula for middle school students and a series of educational YouTube videos focused on understanding the effects of climate change on biodiversity.
