This National Science Foundation project grant award of $240,000 provides funding from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027 to support research investigating methylation and microbes as moderators of genotype-by-environment interactions. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences.

The fellow will conduct integrative research using a grasshopper system to study how epigenetic changes to DNA structure and symbiotic relationships with microbes affect responses to environmental conditions. Field and laboratory experiments will characterize natural patterns in methylation and microbiomes across elevations, establish links between specific environmental factors and their impacts on symbionts and methylation, and test relationships between the microbiome, methylation levels, and phenotypic outcomes under controlled conditions. Analysis of patterns in methylation and microbiomes over time using museum specimens will test whether these factors can better predict impacts of climate change. Outreach to community college students will enhance broader impacts. The research aims to improve predictions of ecological and evolutionary responses to environmental variation.
