- This $969,220 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) supports research to determine the genetic pathways underlying the adaptive changes in Tasmanian devils and their transmissible cancer. The goal is to assess whether the genetic evolution in the host and pathogen is repeatable across different devil populations infected for varying lengths of time. This research will provide insights to guide conservation...
- This $708,697 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Colorado State University from April 2023 through March 2027 to study the evolution of plague resistance in prairie dogs. The university will conduct whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing of resistant and susceptible prairie dogs to determine the genetic basis of recently evolved resistance. Researchers will then map mutations associated with resistance to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $371,044 to support research at James Madison University (JMU) on the evolutionary transitions between mutualism and parasitism in leafflower plants and moths. The project funds four master's students to study the genetics, diversity of associated bacteria, and biology of leafflower moths in Texas, the Southeastern U.S., and Puerto Rico. It also supports summer research...
