This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $973,030 supports research into the rapid phenotypic evolution of pigmentation genes in South American seed-eating birds (genus Sporophila) through 2025. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award enables detailed study of the chemical, structural, and genetic mechanisms underlying color production and patterning in avian feathers. Researchers from Cornell University will analyze pigment composition, nano- and...
This $532,655 multi-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Utah State University (USU) to deepen the understanding of how birds respond to their environmental surroundings. The project aims to: 1) characterize the spatial scales at which hundreds of North American bird species respond to various environmental factors; 2) test hypotheses about the mechanisms generating these scale-dependent...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $240,000 in funding from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on comparative evolutionary genomics and population genomics of long-distance bird migration. The research project aims to identify the genomic regions involved in adaptations for extreme long-distance migration in shorebird species and evaluate how the demands of this...
This three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $770,868 will support research from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025 examining how seasonal migration influences genetic migration in boreal forest bird species. Funded through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of Michigan will investigate the relationship between seasonal long-distance migration and genetic differentiation using genomic tools and migration tracking tags across 32 co-distributed bird...
This $261,746 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to characterize the diversification dynamics of Andean "sky island" avifauna in the Polylepis forests of the central Andes in Peru and Bolivia. The principal investigator at Louisiana State University will sequence DNA from approximately 30 bird species in these fragmented high-elevation forests to assess population connectivity and reevaluate current...
This National Science Foundation award provides $159,259 to the University of Massachusetts Amherst through March 2024 to study the impacts of climate change and environmental pressures on long-distance migratory birds. Specifically, the award will support research tracking Hudsonian godwits throughout their annual migration cycle from Alaska to southern Chile using miniaturized tracking devices. The research aims to understand how changes occurring during different life cycle periods or...
The National Science Foundation awarded $414,000 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The fellowship funding will support integrative research investigating the intersection of genomes, environments, and phenotypes in elevational migrant bird species across the Andes and Himalayas.
The fellow will generate valuable museum specimens including frozen tissues and genomic,...
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...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure provides $138,000 in funding to support research contributions to variation in fitness in a wild bird population. The award period is from July 2021 through June 2023.
The grant was awarded under the NSF's 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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The fellowship will investigate the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes to understand how new species arise and evolve on isolated island habitats, using the Fiji whistler bird as a model system. The research will contribute to the...
