This National Science Foundation project grant awarded $455,766 to Oregon State University to study how climate change and human impacts have shaped small mammal communities over the last 17,000 years. The grant is part of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund research using the fossil and archaeological records of Paisley and Connley Caves in Oregon to estimate diversity and functional changes in small mammal populations from 17,000 years ago to present. In addition,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $202,138 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The grant funds a collaborative research project to examine the evolution of North American small mammal communities in response to landscape changes over the past 30 to 5 million years. The researchers will collect fossils and sediment samples from the U.S. Great Plains and Northwest to study how changes in habitat...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $279,943 Project Grant to the University of Oregon to conduct collaborative research on the evolution of North American small mammal communities in response to landscape changes from the Oligocene to Miocene epochs (30 to 5 million years ago). The project aims to understand the relationship between vegetation and mammalian communities, with a focus on how small mammals respond to habitat changes over time. The research will integrate fieldwork to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a collaborative research project to study the effects of climate change on mammalian functional diversity during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) period. The $205,877 award, effective November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2027, will be administered by The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (Stony Brook University). The key products and services to be...
This $351,499 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to quantify the ecological legacy of the Terminal Pleistocene megafaunal extinction on mammal communities in the Edward's Plateau region of Texas. The research team at the University of Nebraska will characterize changes in diet, morphology, and ecological interactions of extinct and surviving mammals over the past 20,000 years through stable isotope analysis, 2D/3D...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $174,000 to study mammals as indicators of ecological recovery following the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support basic research exploring the relationship between topographic diversity and the reestablishment of mammal populations in the aftermath of the extinction. By strengthening understanding of the...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the "escalator to extinction" phenomenon, where montane specialist species shift their distributions to higher elevations in response to climate change, potentially leading to mountain top extinctions. The $240,000 award, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027, will fund a two-pronged research...
This $146,000 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075) supports collaborative paleontological and geological research to advance understanding of human origins and evolution. The project conducts intensive fieldwork and analysis to retrieve fossil, paleoenvironmental, and geological data from 6-million-year-old sites in Africa. Researchers will use a multi-proxy approach including phytolith analysis, stable isotope...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $152,000 to support collaborative paleontological and geological research to advance the scientific understanding of hominoid and hominin evolution. The project, led by the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), will conduct intensive field work, analytical analyses, and mentored educational activities to investigate 6-million-year-old fossil sites in...
This $419,234 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Florida will analyze changes in mammalian functional diversity before, during, and after the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) - a period of rapid global warming ~56 million years ago. The project will develop new AI tools to rapidly analyze 3D datasets from micro-CT scans of mammalian fossils, including molars, tarsal elements, and distal phalanges, to...
