The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $542,445 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant supports a collaborative research project to investigate the evolution and biogeographic history of the megadiverse plant bugs (Hemiptera: Miridae) insect family. The research aims to construct a robust phylogeny of plant bugs using genomic data, examine their dietary...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $919,999 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside. This 3-year grant, beginning September 1, 2023, supports research to investigate the evolution and functional role of small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) in diverse bacterial lineages, particularly those living symbiotically within pest insect hosts. The project aims to determine how sRNA sequence divergence and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $477,292 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside). This three-year grant, active from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028, will support a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on next-generation plant biology and plant-microbe interactions. The grant will enable UC Riverside to train approximately 30 students, primarily from schools...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $270,000 in funding from August 2025 to July 2028 to support a postdoctoral fellowship research project. The key objectives are to: 1) reconstruct the evolutionary history of diet shifts in seed bugs (Lygaeoidea) using genomic data, 2) investigate the relationship between diet shifts and speciation in this insect group, and 3) characterize the microbiome composition and its...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $381,493 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site focused on next-generation cell biology of plants and plant pathogens. The three-year award, which runs from March 2021 through February 2024, will fund research experiences and training for undergraduate students in major problems related to plant...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program Project Grant awarded to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) provides $300,000 over a 5-year period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029. The grant will fund research to explore the evolutionary development of neural cell types and visual circuits across insect species, including mosquitoes, house flies, and butterflies. The project aims to utilize the insect visual system as a model to understand...
This $680,134 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at the University of California, Davis examining the effects of phenological shifts on plant-insect interactions due to climate change. The grantee will use herbarium specimens collected over the past hundred years and an experimental garden mimicking past, present and future climatic conditions to assess potential novel species interactions resulting from changes...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $519,457 project grant to the University of California Irvine to research plant herbivore defense syndromes mediated by canopy structural complexity. This three-year award, made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research from January 2021 through December 2024 to promote understanding of major problems confronting the nation by increasing scientific knowledge of how plant canopy structure impacts defenses against...
This $1,122,664 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will investigate how genes from microbial ancestors have evolved to produce new beneficial traits in eukaryotic organisms such as insects. The research will focus on understanding the regulatory processes that allow virus-derived genetic material to be integrated into host genomes and provide novel functionality. Key objectives include: Examining multiple natural examples of...
This $806,156 National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program was granted to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to support a 5-year research project on the mechanisms and repeatability of speciation with gene flow. The project aims to explore how new species form, focusing on the role of structural variants in the genome in facilitating parallel evolution and speciation in dune sunflowers. It will combine research, education,...
