- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $736,073 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, to examine intraspecific variation in female choosiness for male courtship songs and its genetic basis in crickets. The 3-year research project, running from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028, aims to quantify individual differences in female choosiness, explore the heritability...
- 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...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $276,000 funds an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. The fellowship supports integrative research investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes. Specifically, the fellow will examine the repeatability and predictability of evolutionary processes across whole genomes in hybrid zones between North American field crickets. Through a genotype-phenotype...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $1,266,115 to the University of Denver to conduct collaborative research on the causes and consequences of adaptive radiation in animal communication, from individuals to communities. The research aims to observe in real-time how new, novel traits arise and persist in Pacific field crickets that were recently introduced to Hawaii, where their mating songs attract a lethal eavesdropping fly....
- 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...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025. The $270,000 award will fund research and training that aims to enhance understanding of how behavior, brain gene expression, and biological function integrate across levels of organization in a polyphenic insect with biparental care, the bull-headed dung beetle (Onthophagus taurus). The project will investigate...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $557,547.00 project grant to American University on September 1, 2025 for the project "Collaborative Research: The Causes and Consequences of Adaptive Radiation in Animal Communication, from Individuals to Communities". This grant supports fundamental research to study how new and novel traits arise and persist in animal communication, with a focus on observing the rapid...
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 convert genetic variation and environmental inputs into a dimorphic trait. The research will generate foundational knowledge on the mechanisms connecting genotype-to-phenotype for complex multigenic traits, improving the ability to predict phenotype from genotype. The project will also develop genomic resources for Gryllus field crickets and train early career scientists while engaging urban and rural communities to improve science literacy and appreciation of crickets. The award period is from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2027.
