The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Parallel Genome and Phenome Evolution within and across Fish Species" from December 2021 through November 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote advancement in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major challenges. Through this two-year award,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $415,682 to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation to conduct research on the effects of ocean warming on a coastal fish species. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify genetic variation in temperature response, 2) determine if local adaptation to temperature exists, and 3) assess whether evolutionary changes can occur quickly enough to impact population...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $345,619 to Cornell University to conduct research on how sea level rise and coastal saltwater intrusion impact amphibian species in the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. The research aims to identify amphibian life stages most vulnerable to salinity increases, determine physiological responses to saltwater exposure, and predict how different coastal species will fare as sea levels...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $472,593 Project Grant to the University of Connecticut to expand the Silverside system to quantify how climate gradients determine co- and countergradient adaptation strength in the ocean. Under this NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research team is examining genetic differences in growth rates, vertebral number, and mercury uptake among Chilean silverside fish populations from different latitudes to...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Understanding the Genetic and Physiologic Adaptations to Thermally Challenging Environments in Chinook Salmon." The award period is from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant was awarded under the 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 and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award of $358,622 to the University of Illinois from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2026 aims to characterize the evolution of proteins that integrate signals of warming, changing pH, and oxidation in the sensory systems of three species of Arctic and sub-Arctic fish. The research will provide insight into the sensitivity and responses of these fish to climate change through the generation and analysis of...
This $268,647 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support research to gain an integrative understanding of the mechanisms that enable certain species of killifish to exhibit extreme physiological flexibility and thrive in highly variable environments. The research will compare the genetic and physiological traits of killifish species with varying degrees of euryhalinity, or the ability to tolerate large...
This $891,697 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research to understand how fishes have adapted to the high pressure conditions of the deep ocean. The research will use techniques in genomics, chemistry, biophysics, and physiology to compare the genetic code and protein structures of fishes across habitat depths, from surface waters to the deepest ocean trenches. This will provide insights into how high...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, funded through the Biological Sciences Division's Organismal Responses to Climate Change program (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences), provides $219,919 to Cornell University for a 3-year collaborative research project on the mechanisms underlying the unusual high CO2 sensitivity of sand lance, a key forage fish species in the Northwest Atlantic. The project aims to: 1) Rear sand lance offspring from wild spawners to late larval stages under varying CO2...
This $276,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research and training in evolutionary genomics of rapid adaptation in wild threespine stickleback fish populations. Funded under the Biological Sciences program of the NSF Division of Biological Infrastructure, the award enables a postdoctoral fellow to study how genomic and population factors impact rapid adaptive evolution in the wild. Using threespine stickleback that diverged from marine to freshwater populations within the...
