This Project Grant award, valued at $415,782.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Baylor University. The funding will support research to study how the evolution of feeding structure morphology in sea urchins is influenced by functional performance, and how this performance impacts the long-term evolution and ecology of these animals. The researchers plan to create a publicly accessible online database of 3D digital scans of all known...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $142,508 Project Grant to the California Academy of Sciences to support collaborative research integrating phylogenomics with the fossil record of sea urchins. The goal of this three-year award, running from April 2021 through March 2024, is to advance understanding of macroevolutionary patterns in sea urchins through integrating modern genomic techniques with the fossil record of this model clade. This award supports the Biological Sciences program's...
