This three-year $713,098 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Colorado State University-Pueblo to quantify the effects of temperature on phagocytosis by immune cells in desert tortoises. The NSF Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded the grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to advance biological knowledge and enhance understanding of major problems. The university will study how varying temperatures impact the ability of...
This $425,200 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Arizona State University from July 2022 through June 2024 towards understanding responses to climate change and invasion vulnerability in drylands of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The research will combine geospatial techniques such as species distribution modeling with a trait-based methodology to assess amphibian species' vulnerability to...
This $180,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports postdoctoral research examining taxon-specific responses to aridity gradients in small mammals over time and across space in the northwestern Great Basin of the United States. The awardee will analyze small mammal bones deposited in caves over the past 16,000 years to test hypotheses about species sensitivity to climate drying and whether ongoing changes in climate or land use pose a...
This National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $515,158 to The University of Texas at San Antonio from October 2022 to September 2025. The award will support research to develop next-generation species distribution models that integrate organism-level bioenergetic budgets with community-level predator-prey interactions. Researchers will conduct laboratory experiments and field studies on fish populations in Southern Appalachian streams...
This $713,392 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to characterize reproductive strategies in sea turtles. The primary awardee, the University of Florida, will use stable isotope analysis to identify the source of nutrients used by three sea turtle species to produce eggs, determining whether they rely on stored energy reserves (capital breeding) or current food intake (income breeding). The...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Phenotypic Flexibility May Allow Long-Lived Species to Buffer from Environmental Change" from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023. The grant was awarded under the 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 enhancing understanding of major problems...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research aimed at incorporating behavioral science insights into models for predicting the eco-evolutionary responses of North American bird species to climate change. The $901,999 award to the University of Texas at Austin, spanning August 2024 to July 2027, will leverage indicators of behavioral flexibility, such as relative brain size, to improve forecasts of changes in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $272,736 Project Grant (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) to South Dakota State University (SDSU) to conduct research on conservation paleobiology and ecometrics. The project will examine how mammal communities in South Dakota's Wind Cave National Park have responded to environmental changes over the past ~200,000 years, and use these insights to predict future adaptations. Key activities include: 1) Assessing changes in community diversity and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $928,161 Project Grant to The Reed Institute under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to resolve multi-scale ecological consequences of thermal refuges amidst climate warming. Over a five-year period ending April 2028, the grantee will document the extent and patterns of diversity associated with thermal refuges in freshwater ecosystems. Research will assess population-level costs and benefits of...
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...
