The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and increase understanding of major problems facing the nation. The grant will fund postdoctoral fellowship research at a location in Baltimore, Maryland to study the neural mechanisms...
This $975,393 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research to link broad-scale remote sensing with arthropod metabarcoding across a geological age gradient in the Hawaiian Islands. The key products and services to be delivered include: Integrating rapid assessment technologies at the landscape and island level to forecast changes in high-impact insect and spider populations tracked by their DNA. This...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $939,752 to Washington State University to conduct a 5-year research project titled "INTBIO: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: PHENOTYPES OF THE ANTHROPOCENE: INTEGRATING THE CONSEQUENCES OF SENSORY STRESSORS ACROSS BIOLOGICAL SCALES." The research aims to (1) reveal whether noise and light pollution consistently select for similar avian phenotypes across six bird species,...
The Smithsonian Institution will receive $453,107 under a two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology to conduct research exploring the interplay between form and function in spider predatory strikes. The grant will support collaborative research from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The research aims to advance understanding of the force-velocity trade-off in spider predatory strikes, with the goal of increasing scientific knowledge of...
Cornell University was awarded a three-year $725,171 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research titled "Evolutionary and Functional Trade-offs in Extreme Sensory Capabilities of Nocturnal Predatory Spiders." The goal of this research collaboration is to advance understanding of major biological questions regarding how nocturnal spiders have evolved enhanced sensory abilities to hunt at night...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to the University of Maryland, College Park, aims to integrate rapid assessment technologies at the landscape and island level to forecast changes in high-impact insect and spider populations in the Hawaiian Islands. The $167,390 award, effective from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027, will couple high-throughput arthropod biodiversity sequencing and remote sensing imagery to examine correlated...
This Project Grant award of $200,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology supports collaborative research at Saint Louis University to investigate how competition for vibrational acoustic space impacts insect diversity. The researchers will test the "acoustic niche hypothesis" by recording insect vibrations and collecting insect samples from prairie sites with varying management histories. The goal is to understand how partitioning of vibrational...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $541,373 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Oklahoma State University (OSU) to study the effects of male cannibalism on offspring traits in spiders. The research aims to determine which specific micronutrients, dietary amino acids, or fatty acids in male spider bodies are responsible for the nutritional benefits to female spiders and their offspring. The project will compare nutrient composition between male and...
