This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $939,752 to Washington State University to conduct a 5-year research project titled "INTBIO: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: PHENOTYPES OF THE ANTHROPOCENE: INTEGRATING THE CONSEQUENCES OF SENSORY STRESSORS ACROSS BIOLOGICAL SCALES." The research aims to (1) reveal whether noise and light pollution consistently select for similar avian phenotypes across six bird species, (2) identify generalizable relationships between physiological, behavioral, and ecological responses, and (3) unveil key differences among species that underlie sensitivity to these widespread sensory pollutants. The project will measure avian physiological responses (e.g., hormone levels), behavioral responses (e.g., aggression, song structure), and fitness outcomes (e.g., offspring success) across gradients and combinations of light and noise pollution. The interdisciplinary research team will use a holistic, integrated approach to build a framework for predicting how species will respond to increasing human-caused sensory stressors. The project aims to have societal impacts through minority STEM training, public outreach, and informing conservation policy.
