This $166,053 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to investigate the relationship between "greenbeard" signaling and social behaviors in the fire ant, Solenopsis invicta. The key objectives are to: (1) characterize the cuticular chemical signals that constitute greenbeard cues in different fire ant nestmates, (2) identify the contexts in which...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded Yale University a $527,729 Project Grant titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RUI: THE INFLUENCE OF ANTS ON REGIONAL-SCALE SOIL CARBON DYNAMICS" through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). This 4-year grant supports research to understand how the abundant soil-dwelling ants impact soil carbon content and microbial communities at regional scales. The research involves a controlled field experiment to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $642,713 Project Grant to the University of Central Florida (UCF) for the collaborative research project "RUI: The Influence of Ants on Regional-Scale Soil Carbon Dynamics". The research aims to advance the understanding of how abundant insects like ants affect soil conditions and microbial communities, which in turn impact soil carbon content at regional scales. The project involves a controlled field...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to study macrophysiological patterns in the thermal and optical properties of ant cuticular structures. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. Funding will support research from March 2022 to February 2024 examining the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes in the Argentine ant (Linepithema humile), an invasive species with significant negative impacts on native ecosystems and agriculture. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Empirical testing of the...
This $175,064 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research study by Georgetown University to investigate the impacts of periodical cicada population pulses on ant foraging behaviors and ecosystem functions in forest environments. The project aims to document how the dramatic influx of cicada biomass as a food source affects ant populations, their foraging dynamics, and the indirect effects on...
This $228,975 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research on the resilience of a foundational ant-acacia mutualism following the removal of an invasive ant species in central Kenya. The project aims to determine whether the original ant-acacia partnership and ecosystem can be restored after the removal of the invasive ant, and how factors like rainfall influence this resilience. The research will employ...
This $729,936 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research at the University of Tennessee to develop a framework for studying higher order interactions in complex systems. The research will examine the causes and consequences of higher order interactions, which are simultaneous interactions among multiple components rather than just dyadic interactions, using Argentine ants as a model...
This $993,899 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research into the biomechanical and fluid-mechanical mechanisms that insects use to move their antennae. The project, led by Clemson University, investigates the structure, function, and biomechanics of insect antennae to provide insights into how they enable insects to navigate and sense their environment. The research aims to develop strategies for designing...
Arizona State University was awarded a $175,935 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences on September 1, 2021 to complete the project by August 31, 2024. The grant supports the project "MULTISCALE MULTISTAGE ECOLOGICAL AND EVOLUTIONARY MODELING WITH APPLICATIONS TO SOCIAL INSECT COLONIES" under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This program aims to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences to...
