This $276,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and training from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024. The fellowship recipient will conduct integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments and phenotypes in evolutionary biology. Specifically, the fellow will study mechanisms connecting short-term plastic behavioral responses to long-term evolutionary change. Using a pupfish system with specialist and...
This $276,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research and training in evolutionary genomics of rapid adaptation in wild threespine stickleback fish populations. Funded under the Biological Sciences program of the NSF Division of Biological Infrastructure, the award enables a postdoctoral fellow to study how genomic and population factors impact rapid adaptive evolution in the wild. Using threespine stickleback that diverged from marine to freshwater populations within the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2023. The fellowship supports research and training that will contribute to the NSF's "Rules of Life" initiative, focusing on the physiological implications of long-term hypoxia (low oxygen) exposure on marine fish, particularly the stickleback. The research will investigate the plastic response of...
This National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology award for $276,000 provides funding from November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2024 to investigate the endocrine and neurogenomic regulation of male parental care strategies in songbirds. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the fellow will examine how variation in testosterone and prolactin hormones mediate male life history strategies and parental behaviors. Field research will be conducted at sites along a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000 from June 15, 2023 to May 31, 2026 supports an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to study the evolution and development of retinal specializations in fish, which can help understand how the environment and development shape the biology and evolution of the eye. The key products of this project include: 1) evolutionary genomics and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund $321,072 in research at the Reed Institute under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from March 2022 through February 2025. The research aims to investigate the evolutionary and biological basis of physical and behavioral traits that are sex-biased toward male or female expression across multiple levels of biological organization. Researchers will study global hormone levels, metabolic enzymes, hormone...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, provides $240,000 in funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the behavioral and physiological mechanisms of buoyancy regulation in bony fishes. The 3-year fellowship, starting on July 1, 2025, will support research that aims to reveal fundamental information about how fishes maintain homeostasis and interact with their environment, as well as...
This federal Project Grant award of $626,837.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at Stony Brook University to investigate the role of phenotypic plasticity and natural selection in the early stages of new species formation in threespine stickleback fish. The research will examine recently-established freshwater stickleback populations near Anchorage, Alaska that have diverged from their marine ancestors,...
