This $1,137,520 National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant awarded to Clemson University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to conduct integrative functional and quantitative genomics research on butterfly wing color and patterning. The work will identify the genetic architecture of a polygenic and polymorphic phenotype found in male butterflies, study the evolutionary processes underlying its adaptive gain, and test hypotheses about how this phenotype is driving...
This $433,928 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund collaborative research by Clemson University to study invasive plant species across the Americas. The research teams will monitor the growth and survival of native and invasive tree saplings across light gradients in 10 locations, including temperate and tropical forests, to test the hypothesis that lower pest loads allow invasive species to circumvent the typical tradeoffs...
Clemson University was awarded a $807,800 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems on June 1, 2021 with a completion date of May 31, 2024. The grant is part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and understanding of major problems. Under this award, Clemson University will conduct...
This $197,022 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at Louisiana Tech University examining the effects of leaf diversity on aquatic insect colonizer diversity. The university researchers will manipulate the mixtures of dead tree leaves in artificial ponds to study how the diversity of tree species surrounding aquatic habitats affects aquatic biodiversity....
This $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology will fund research at Stanford University to analyze sediment DNA from lake cores in California in order to reconstruct over 1,200 years of insect diversity change. The researchers will employ sedimentary DNA techniques and high-throughput sequencing to characterize insect diversity over time. They will also assemble data on land use change, climate change, and pesticide applications to link...
This Project Grant award for $167,390, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research to link broad-scale remote sensing with arthropod metabarcoding across a geological age gradient in the Hawaiian Islands. The key objectives are to: Integrate rapid assessment technologies at the landscape and island level to forecast changes in high-impact insect and spider populations tracked by their DNA. Measure the velocity...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research investigating the biomechanical and fluid-mechanical mechanisms that insects use to move their antennae. The $993,899 award to Clemson University, with a performance period from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2027, aims to provide insights into the role of antennae in insect species diversification. The research team will conduct a comparative biomechanics analysis of...
This $419,230 five-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will evaluate the contribution of sensory drive to the divergence of flower color in plant species. Led by Clemson University researchers, the project aims to understand how flower color may evolve differently between populations without major shifts in pollinator species by studying populations of Phacelia dubia, a bee-pollinated...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $975,393 aims to integrate rapid biodiversity assessment technologies, including arthropod metabarcoding and remote sensing, to forecast unseen changes in insect and spider populations across a geological age gradient in the Hawaiian Islands. The key products and services to be delivered include: Measuring the velocity and extent of non-native plant invasions in Hawaiian ecological landscapes using...
This five-year, $229,571 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining the impact of climate change on functional biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika, Africa. Led by Brown University, the project will use sedimentary records to model historical community structures and functions under different climate change scenarios. Researchers will assess open water and benthic communities using geochemical, fossil, and genomic tools....
