The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $328,756 Project Grant to the University of Southern California (USC) for a collaborative research project titled "BOCP-IMPLEMENTATION: TESTING EVOLUTIONARY MODELS OF BIOTIC SURVIVAL AND RECOVERY FROM THE PERMO-TRIASSIC MASS EXTINCTION AND CLIMATE CRISIS." The 3-year project, running from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026, will investigate ecosystem recovery from the Permo-Triassic mass extinction event in the Karoo Basin of South Africa. Key objectives include synthesizing geochronologic age controls, identifying shifts in ecomorphological and body size disparity, elucidating the influence of community structure on vertebrate diversity, and conducting public outreach and capacity-building efforts. This research, aimed at understanding the impacts of extreme environmental instability on functional biodiversity, aligns with NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise.
