- This $2.9 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Emerging Frontiers will fund research from 2023 to 2027 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). Oregon State University will lead a collaborative effort to study the resilience of freshwater ecosystems under changing climate conditions. Researchers will test how biodiversity and individual variation among species affect an ecosystem's ability to withstand environmental changes. They will conduct...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $444,570 to The University of South Dakota (USD) to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms that explain continental-scale patterns in the size spectra of organisms in freshwater stream ecosystems. The research aims to understand how energy flow, a crucial ecological process, shapes the distribution and abundance of different species across aquatic habitats. By leveraging...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded a $1,275,000 Project Grant to Florida International University (FIU) for the "LTER V: COASTAL OLIGOTROPHIC ECOSYSTEMS" research project. This 6-year project, running from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2031, will continue long-term studies and experiments to understand how changes in freshwater supply, sea level rise, and disturbances like tropical storms interact to influence...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $300,243 Project Grant to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research from January 2023 through December 2025. The research aims to understand how stochasticity and spatial context impact the dynamics of functional diversity in freshwater ecosystems under global change. Specifically, the grantee will conduct...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $134,250 awarded on January 1, 2023 will fund research examining the roles of stochasticity and spatial context in the dynamics of functional diversity in stream ecosystems under global change. The research will be conducted through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) in collaboration between the University of Maryland Baltimore County and the University System of Maryland. The project aims to advance understanding of how community size...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $928,161 Project Grant to The Reed Institute under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to resolve multi-scale ecological consequences of thermal refuges amidst climate warming. Over a five-year period ending April 2028, the grantee will document the extent and patterns of diversity associated with thermal refuges in freshwater ecosystems. Research will assess population-level costs and benefits of...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify the temporal patterns and drivers of fish-mediated ecosystem functions, such as biomass production, nutrient cycling, and piscivory, across six European Large Marine Ecosystems over a 40-year period. The $393,925 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will integrate fish monitoring data, bioenergetics modeling, and statistical inference to map the spatiotemporal...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $345,619 to Cornell University, from October 1, 2024 to November 30, 2026, will fund research to investigate the impacts of sea level rise and saltwater intrusion on coastal amphibian species. The project aims to improve understanding of the salinity tolerance limits of frog and toad species occupying coastal habitats on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. Using an experimental approach, the research will...
This National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology Project Grant award to Indiana State University will fund a collaborative research project to quantify the response of biodiverse freshwater ecosystems to abrupt and progressive environmental changes, such as marine water inundation due to sea-level rise. The $338,197 project, running from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2028, will use the Izabal/Golfete system in eastern Guatemala as a natural laboratory to investigate how this freshwater ecosystem responds to rapid versus gradual marine water intrusion. The researchers will collect sediment cores, surface sediments, fish, and water samples to generate high-resolution data on environmental and biological changes using various analytical methods. This data will allow them to model functional diversity and forecast the response of similar freshwater ecosystems to future marine flooding events. The project will also support student training, outreach programs in the US and Guatemala, and provide essential information to local ecosystem managers.
