The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $699,760 Project Grant to The Ohio State University to conduct collaborative research on elucidating the multi-dimensionality and scaling of avian diversity-vegetation relationships. The project will study the impacts of habitat structure, including both vertical and horizontal heterogeneity, on biodiversity using airborne and satellite-based LiDAR sensors. It aims to identify traits that mediate the associations...
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 $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 $270,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship to conduct research on the evolutionary history and genetic basis of plumage coloration in tropical tanager birds. The research aims to understand the role of interspecific interactions in signal trait evolution, species formation, and sympatric coexistence. Key activities include: 1) Using a population genomics approach to assess...
This $200,000 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology will fund research into the role of native and nonnative trees in structuring urban food webs. The official federal grant program is the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the grant will support a field experiment involving the planting of 200 native and nonnative oak trees in...
This $916,173 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) aims to develop a user-friendly conservation tool to help land managers prioritize actions to restore declining grassland bird populations across North America. The project will collect data on migratory patterns, genetic health, and reproductive output of three grassland bird species to build a genomically-informed, full annual cycle, integrated...
This $975,393 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research to link broad-scale remote sensing with arthropod metabarcoding across a geological age gradient in the Hawaiian Islands. The key products and services to be delivered include: Integrating rapid assessment technologies at the landscape and island level to forecast changes in high-impact insect and spider populations tracked by their DNA. This...
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 $400,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will support research on the diversification dynamics of Andean "sky island" bird populations in the central Andes region of Peru and Bolivia. The principal investigator at Louisiana State University (LSU) will leverage the university's Museum of Natural Sciences to study the evolutionary and ecological patterns of approximately 30 bird species found in...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $827,019 to the University of Massachusetts to develop models and algorithms for inferring bird population movements from citizen science data. Leveraging billions of bird observations from the eBird citizen science project, the awardee will create computational tools to simulate migratory routes and produce movement...
