This $664,796 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project that aims to investigate the vulnerability of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog prey in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest to climate change impacts. The research team at Colorado State University will leverage cutting-edge genomics, physiology, and computational modeling to assess thermal adaptation, adaptive capacity,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $739,066 Project Grant to Duke University to examine how a model one-celled organism, Tetrahymena thermophila, adapts to changing temperatures. The funded research, part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to resolve critical gaps in understanding how rapid global climate change may affect the evolution of protist growth rates and respiration, with potential implications for both climate change and public health. The 5-year...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $400,219 Project Grant to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to support research titled "Ecological and Evolutionary Effects of Extinction and Ecosystem Engineers (E6)." The five-year grant, awarded September 1, 2021 with a completion date of August 31, 2026, will fund basic research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The Biological Sciences program aims to advance...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $856,412 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska (the University) to conduct research exploring the feedback between the physiological performance and social foraging dynamics of wintering songbirds. The project aims to: (1) quantify the effects of physiological variation on social network stability in response to ambient temperature changes; (2) experimentally...
This $450,260 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research by the University of Montana to investigate the vulnerabilities of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog prey to climate change in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The research team will use a multidisciplinary approach combining DNA sequencing, physiology experiments, and computer modeling to test hypotheses about the thermal sensitivities and...
The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville received a $275,142 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to conduct research on how climate warming may impact species coexistence through changes in competition-predation trade-offs. The university will use experiments on damselflies to develop an understanding of how increased temperature affects these trade-offs at the behavioral, physiological and evolutionary levels....
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded $337,950 to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the project "Collaborative Research: Paleoenvironmental and Paleoecological Responses to Climate Change in the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum" from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. Under this three-year Project Grant, the University of Nebraska will conduct research to strengthen understanding of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of USD 202,860 to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho, supports a collaborative research study on the vulnerability of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog prey to climate change in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The research team will use a multidisciplinary approach combining DNA sequencing, physiology experiments, and computer...
This $687,357 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to study repeated evolution in a diverse group of alpine beetles. The researchers will explore whether natural selection has acted on the same molecular pathways as species adapted to alpine environments during past climate cycles. Comparative genomic and stress tolerance experiments will test for evidence of repeated evolution and identify the genetic mechanisms...
