This $297,323 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The funding supports a collaborative research project to study how habitat structure, specifically the spatial arrangement of plants and resources, impacts avian biodiversity across local to continental scales. Using airborne and satellite Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, the project will explore the...
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's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $261,746 to Louisiana State University (LSU) to conduct research on the diversification dynamics of Andean "sky island" bird populations in the Polylepis forests of Peru and Bolivia. The project will generate integrative datasets on the genomics, morphology, coloration, and vocalizations of approximately 30 bird species to comprehensively study the origin and maintenance...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $298,529 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Colorado State University. The grant, titled "EAGER: Harnessing Citizen Science to Disentangle the Social and Ecological Drivers of Urban Biodiversity," aims to explore how socioeconomic factors affect biodiversity in cities. The research will analyze data from citizen science projects like eBird to identify and quantify biases related to socioeconomic status,...
This $399,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will support research into traits as predictors of adaptive diversification along the Brazilian Dry Diagonal. The grant funds a collaborative proposal between researchers in the United States and Brazil to synthesize information from species' traits, communities, and genetics to understand the evolution of biodiversity in this unique region of Brazil. The research team will employ machine learning,...
This $299,551 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Colorado State University to evaluate the impacts of plant biodiversity on the productivity of grasslands and forests across the United States. The project will use remote sensing technologies and field-based observations to characterize different facets of biodiversity and quantify their relationships with primary productivity. The research aims to...
This $599,816 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at the University of Texas at El Paso to examine how structural diversity within plant communities influences ecosystem function and biodiversity across different ecosystem types and spatial scales. The University of Texas at El Paso, as awardee, will analyze remote sensing data from the National Ecological Observatory Network along with new drone lidar data to test...
This $975,393 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support a collaborative research project at the University of California, Berkeley. The project aims to integrate rapid assessment technologies, including satellite, helicopter, drone, and ground-based monitoring, with high-throughput arthropod biodiversity sequencing to examine shifts in insect and spider populations across gradients of native and invaded forest habitats in...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Emerging Frontiers provided $138,000 in funding to integrate genetic and morphological concepts of diversity in ecological and environmental contexts. The award falls under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic research to advance understanding of major issues facing the nation. Specifically, the grant recipient will conduct postdoctoral research from January 2022 through...
This $793,094 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund research at the University of Colorado to quantify how global environmental changes, such as drought and warming, impact biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The project aims to transform understanding of the causal mechanisms by which biodiversity responds to global change drivers and how those biodiversity changes then feed back to alter productivity and other ecosystem...
