- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $189,325 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083) to Arkansas State University to conduct research on the evolutionary patterns of fragmented mitochondrial genomes in parasitic lice. The 3-year project aims to understand how and why some species of lice have separated their mitochondrial genetic material onto multiple smaller chromosomes, a rare and potentially harmful trait in most other animals. The research...
- This Project Grant award for $399,902 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports research by the University of Illinois to study fragmented mitochondrial genomes in parasitic lice. The researchers will use whole genome sequencing data to reconstruct the evolutionary history of mitochondrial genome structure in lice and test hypotheses about the causes and consequences of mitochondrial genome fragmentation. Key products and services to be delivered include...
- This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $133,767 to the University of Florida to investigate the evolutionary drivers of host-parasite associations in mammal sucking lice. Through high-throughput sequencing, machine learning, genomic and morphological analyses, the researchers will build the first phylogenomic tree for sucking lice and databases of louse traits and host...

- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $197,909 to Texas A&M Agrilife Research and its parent organization The Texas A&M University System to conduct collaborative research on mammalian sucking lice host-parasite associations from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The research will investigate the evolutionary history, genes, and physical traits of sucking lice, including human lice, to determine what host...
- This National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology award provides $138,000 to fund research from December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2024 exploring the connections between genotype, phenotype, and environment in shaping population-level variation in human head lice. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the fellow will conduct integrative...
- This award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program, CFDA 47.074, provides $1,335,651 to The University Of Kentucky Research Foundation to conduct research on speciation with gene flow in a pair of pine-feeding insect species. The project aims to understand how some species can maintain genetic differences despite ongoing gene exchange. Key research activities include: Larval diet manipulations and transcriptome analyses to quantify reproductive isolation and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $683,512 to Clark University to conduct research on the genetic mechanisms underlying morphological evolution in mushrooms. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award (01/01/2024 - 12/31/2026) include: Resolving the higher-level phylogenetic relationships within the fungal genus Lentinus using genomic data from living cultures and herbarium specimens....
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $665,406 in funding to Louisiana State University to conduct collaborative research on resolving a complete phylogeny (evolutionary tree) of parrots. The researchers will collect genetic data, including genome sequencing, for all parrot species to build an accurate evolutionary tree and understand gene transfer between species. This data will also be used to develop forensic DNA...
- This three-year, $388,229 National Science Foundation project grant supports research assessing the systematics and diversity of haemoporidia in African lizards. The primary awardee, Villanova University, will collaborate with sub-awardee University of Michigan-Dearborn on generating reptile genetic data, preliminary vector screening, and phylogenetic analyses to advance understanding of haemoporidia species delimitation and the processes driving their diversity across host clades and biomes....
