- This two-year, $276,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds research and training through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to uncover the genomic and developmental basis of gliding structure evolution in gecko lizards. The fellowship recipient will characterize patagium development in multiple gecko species to determine if convergently evolved gliding membranes result from convergent or divergent cellular and developmental patterns. Using histology, apoptosis assays,...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund $240,000 over three years to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship will fund integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments, and phenotypes in driving the diversification of North American lizards during adaptive radiation. The fellow will generate reference genomes for Anolis lizards, apply cytogenetic techniques to detect structural changes, and test for evidence of selection and evolutionary shifts. This work aims to illuminate how changes in genetic organization can disrupt gene flow and accelerate adaptation, driving the evolution of animal diversity. By studying chromosome changes as early drivers of speciation, the research seeks to uncover general principles governing major bursts of diversification. Over the course of the award period, the fellow will also receive training in relevant methods and expand access to scientific education through research mentorship and institution-based programs.
