- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $582,629 Project Grant to the University of Alabama Office for Sponsored Programs Division under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). This 4-year grant aims to resolve the phylogenetic relationships within the extremely diverse order of crustacean animals known as Peracarida. The project will leverage a target capture phylogenomic approach, including the generation of 3 new genomes and 50 new...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $272,659 to the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) from March 2024 to February 2028 to conduct collaborative research on the relationships within the Peracarida, an extremely large and diverse group of crustacean animals. The central goal is to resolve the phylogenetic relationships within Peracarida in order to improve understanding of their vast...
- This $115,936 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research on the evolutionary history and species delineations of coronuloid barnacles (arthropod crustaceans) that are epizoic with marine megafauna like sea turtles and whales. The key research objectives are to: 1) construct a phylogeny mapping the evolutionary chronology of barnacle attachment mechanisms (gluing, gripping, gouging); 2) compare global...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports collaborative research by the California Academy of Sciences to model marine paleocommunity dynamics of the Permian-Triassic transition. The $457,737 award will fund efforts to reconstruct ancient marine ecosystem food webs and test assumptions about uniformitarian principles governing species interactions over evolutionary time. The project aims to provide insights into the...
- This $463,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research to study the origin and evolution of vertebrate diversity on the Marajo Island in the Amazon rainforest. The key activities include: Field collections of small vertebrates (amphibians, lizards, mammals) at four sites on Marajo Island Acquisition of genomic data from the collected samples and historical specimens from the Amazon basin Phylogenetic and population...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant, awarded to New York University (NYU) on August 1, 2024, provides $552,466 in funding over a 3-year period to conduct collaborative research on the phylogeny, systematics, and adaptation of marine epizoic diatoms to endangered megafaunal hosts. The key objectives of this project are to: 1) document and describe up to 50 new diatom species living on marine animals like sea turtles, whales, and manatees;...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program awarded a $1,317,921 Project Grant to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County to enable the purchase of new cabinets to house the museum's ornithology specimen collection, ensure the collection is pest-free through cryofumigation, and resequence the specimens in a modern taxonomic order. This award will protect and facilitate access to this critical biological research collection, enabling its use now and in...
- 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...
