The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $1,263,992 project grant to the University of California, Berkeley under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research on the mechanistic basis of cricket wing dimorphism. The project aims to develop a powerful model system using North American field crickets in the genus Gryllus to discover the genetic, developmental, physiological, and environmental processes that...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $207,000 funds research into the mechanisms of phenotypic novelty in cricket song evolution from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026. The award is made under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. The fellow will integrate computational and experimental tools to study signal evolution in the Hawaiian field cricket, leveraging its...
This Project Grant award of $736,073 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to investigate variation in female choosiness during mate selection in crickets. The primary goals are to examine whether female crickets reliably differ in their choosiness for male song traits, quantify the heritability of choosiness, and identify the underlying genes that contribute to variation in this important reproductive behavior. The research will leverage...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $207,000 funds research into circadian rhythms in crickets from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026. The award is provided through the Biological Sciences program under the Biological Infrastructure division, with a CFDA number of 47.074. The fellowship will support integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environment and phenotypes in circadian rhythms, a fundamental biological process. Using the acoustic mating...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Bowdoin College, a private liberal arts college in Brunswick, Maine, a $231,039 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The 4-year grant, effective August 1, 2023, will support research to evaluate the neurotrophic-like properties of the Spaetzle-Toll signaling pathway in the developing and adult cricket central nervous system (CNS). The goal of the project is to understand whether this family of neurotrophic-like growth...
The Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska was awarded a $918,907 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. This funding supports research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to evaluate the effect of predation on thermal adaptation in response to climate change. Specifically, the University of Nebraska will subject genetically diverse populations of Paramecium species to predation risk and warming, then...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $277,546 awarded to the University of Illinois will fund collaborative research and broader impact activities related to the evolution of insect wings under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). Specifically, the award will support an integrative phylogenomic study from January 2023 to December 2025 examining wing repurposing, vestigiality and loss patterns in cockroaches and termites to better understand the value of wings...
This $1,137,520 National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant awarded to Clemson University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to conduct integrative functional and quantitative genomics research on butterfly wing color and patterning. The work will identify the genetic architecture of a polygenic and polymorphic phenotype found in male butterflies, study the evolutionary processes underlying its adaptive gain, and test hypotheses about how this phenotype is driving...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $856,412 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska (the University) to conduct research exploring the feedback between the physiological performance and social foraging dynamics of wintering songbirds. The project aims to: (1) quantify the effects of physiological variation on social network stability in response to ambient temperature changes; (2) experimentally...
This $193,798 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research on the integrative phylogenomics of wing repurposing, vestigiality and loss in insects. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the American Museum of Natural History will conduct an evolutionary study of cockroach and termite wings through January 2025. The research will analyze morphological data and wing presence/absence across phylogenies to reconstruct ancestral states and better...
