This $269,173 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is funding collaborative research at Stanford University to investigate the genetic and energetic basis of mitonuclear incompatibilities during speciation in swordtail fish. The research aims to identify specific combinations of mitochondrial and nuclear genes that create reproductive barriers and impact hybrid fitness, including examining how these incompatibilities...
This $704,076 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences (47.074) program will fund research at the University Corporation At Monterey Bay to advance understanding of speciation dynamics in the highly diverse rockfish genus Sebastes. Over five years from September 2022 through August 2027, the awardee will construct an updated phylogenetic framework for rockfishes using phylogenomic methods. They will also conduct whole genome sequencing to infer likely divergence...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $373,704 Project Grant to the California State University Auxiliary Services Inc., doing business as UAS, located in Los Angeles, California. The grant supports the project "MCA: Genomic Diversification and Speciation Along Ecological Gradients in a Marine Fish Radiation" from July 15, 2021 to June 30, 2024. The grant aims to promote progress in the biological sciences by increasing knowledge and...
This $1,297,896 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will support research by Texas A&M University to investigate the evolutionary and neurogenomic mechanisms underlying species discrimination and behavioral isolation in North American stream fishes. The project will integrate genomic, transcriptomic, and functional approaches to connect patterns of behavioral, neural, and genomic variation within species to the larger processes of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $744,781 provides funding to the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the genetic and energetic basis of mitonuclear incompatibilities during the formation of new species in swordtail fish (Xiphophorus). The research aims to identify specific combinations of mitochondrial and nuclear genes that create reproductive barriers in hybridizing populations, leading to the development of new...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $276,000 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to support research and training under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The award will fund postdoctoral research by Madilyn Gamble at the University of California, Santa Cruz investigating the genetic underpinnings and evolutionary consequences of alternative reproductive tactics in steelhead trout. Specifically, the research aims to...
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,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $569,812 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System to study the genetic mechanisms underlying repeated evolution of adaptations to extreme cave environments in certain species of fish. The research will employ cutting-edge sequencing and comparative genomics techniques to identify genetic variations associated with cave-adapted traits in three species of cavefish and their surface relatives. Functional...
This $276,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and training from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024. The fellowship recipient will conduct integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments and phenotypes in evolutionary biology. Specifically, the fellow will study mechanisms connecting short-term plastic behavioral responses to long-term evolutionary change. Using a pupfish system with specialist and...
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...
