- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $487,916 to The Trustees of Smith College to conduct research on how the Baltimore checkerspot butterfly responds to changes in climate and novel host plant species. The key objectives are to: 1) investigate how host shifts affect the butterfly's exposure and tolerance to thermal stress and drought, 2) determine if host shifts are driven by synchronization between the butterfly and its host...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award of $499,522 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports the Urban Biodiversity Futures Research Coordination Network (UBF RCN). The UBF RCN brings together scholars and practitioners to address the interlinked challenges of biodiversity conservation, climate resilience, and social justice in urban areas. Key objectives include synthesizing knowledge, building a transdisciplinary research agenda, and training the next...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $606,102 provides funding from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025 to determine the synergistic effects of global warming on fundamental vital rates, fitness, and predation of tropical insect herbivores. The award is made through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support basic biological research that strengthens the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the University of Connecticut will conduct experimental...
- This $495,671 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program was provided to the University of South Carolina (USC) to conduct research on how limited resources and allocation trade-offs impact mate signaling in the Mormon fritillary butterfly. The work integrates physiological and behavioral ecology approaches, using both laboratory and field studies, to understand how changes in larval food availability affect the allocation of nutrients to...
- This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program provides $147,013 to North Carolina State University (NC State) to conduct climate change vulnerability assessments for at-risk insect pollinator species in the Southeastern U.S. and U.S. Caribbean. The key activities include: 1) convening an advisory committee of state, territory, and tribal partners to identify priority pollinator...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074, Biological Sciences program) awarded the University of Florida $1.168 million for a four-year project (January 1, 2026–December 31, 2029) to conduct participatory research on butterfly diversity in Ecuador's protected areas. The project will establish and maintain a multi-year butterfly monitoring program across 15 sites representing different biogeographic regions, elevations,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $210,322 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) to conduct collaborative research on how local adaptation and climatic extremes will shape continental-scale changes in the distribution and abundance of two common tundra plant species under climate change. The award will fund long-term monitoring of wild populations of Silene acaulis...
- This three-year $632,382 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research to understand how behavioral adaptations in foraging effort by wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) and black-browed albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophris) may mitigate population declines due to climate change. The awardee, the Regents of the University of Colorado, will assess linkages between climate change, body condition, foraging effort,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $487,639 to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct long-term monitoring and research on plant community dynamics in the Colorado alpine biome. The project aims to assemble a unique long-term dataset on population and community changes in response to rapid environmental changes, such as climate change, to advance ecological theory and forecasting. Key activities...
