Bowdoin College received a $171,342 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to conduct collaborative research on life history strategies within a population of Leach's storm-petrels. The three-year study, beginning December 1, 2023, will explore the molecular, cellular, and organismal performance traits that enable some individuals to avoid the typical trade-off between current reproduction and survival. The research...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant of $270,000 will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028. The research will focus on understanding the interplay between structural variants, phenotype, and local adaptation in the horned lark, a cryptic avian species. Key objectives include: 1) determining which genomic marker type (structural variants or single nucleotide polymorphisms) best explains population...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research at North Dakota State University (NDSU) to mechanistically examine aging dynamics across insect life stages and tissues. The $614,175 award from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026 will investigate how insect metamorphosis and overwintering dormancy (diapause) influence cellular senescence and organismal lifespan. The research aims to provide new...
