This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology Project Grant for $697,690.00 awarded to the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Foundation aims to resolve the phylogenetic relationships within the diverse crustacean order Peracarida. The project will apply a target capture phylogenomic approach, incorporating new genome and transcriptome data, to construct a robust phylogenetic framework for the group. In addition, the project will assess peracarid biodiversity...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $506,686 Project Grant to Denison University to study the evolutionary relationships and genomic changes associated with eusociality in Synalpheus snapping shrimp. The grant, funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support phylogenomic analysis, morphological assessments, and molecular evolution studies on approximately 130 Synalpheus species globally. The project aims to identify morphological preadaptations and...
This $101,855 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research on the evolutionary history and genetic diversity of barnacles that are epizoic (externally attached) to marine megafauna like sea turtles and whales. The key objectives are to: Construct a definitive phylogeny (evolutionary history) for whale and turtle barnacles and map the evolutionary progression of their attachment mechanisms (gluing,...
The University of Alabama was awarded a $413,773 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct research on Antarctic cumaceans. The goals of the research are to use cumaceans as a model system to explore invertebrate adaptations to the changing Antarctic environment. Key products and services include generating sequenced genomes from eight cumacean species and approximately 250 transcriptomes from 70 species. Researchers will also produce around 470...
This $296,162 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support collaborative research to study the evolutionary history and population genetics of barnacles that are epizoic (live on the bodies) of sea turtles and whales. The key objectives are to: 1) construct a phylogeny (evolutionary tree) of barnacle species and map their varying attachment mechanisms (gluing, gripping, gouging); 2) compare global phylogeographic patterns...
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...
This $119,600 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research testing evolutionary pseudocongruence along the Baja California peninsula through integration of geologic and genomic data. Funded under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the two-year award to the University of Alabama at Birmingham involves mapping and dating structural features in the mid-peninsula region and evaluating low-coverage genomes of plants, reptiles, and mammals to assess population...
This $679,309 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) supports research to investigate the evolution of salinity tolerance in monogonont rotifers. The research aims to enhance understanding of rotifer taxonomy, ecology, and the genomic and physiological mechanisms underlying salinity adaptation. Key activities include: Surveying rotifer biodiversity across varying salinity environments in the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $299,968 EAGER (Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research) grant to Portland State University (PSU) for the project "Fertilizing the Tree of Life with Novel Taxa from Deep-Sea Vent Microbial Metagenomes Collected Over Time and Space". The grant supports research to characterize the spatial and temporal genomic diversity of microbes found in deep-sea hydrothermal vents across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. The project will...
