This Project Grant award of $130,222 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project titled "The Albatross Re-Collection Project for a Century of Genomic Change in the Tropics." The project aims to compare historical and modern fish species, focusing on the blue sprat, to understand how they have adapted to challenges such as fishing and habitat loss over the past century. Key activities include assembling...

This federal Project Grant award of $240,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2024. The research project will investigate the evolutionary genomics and population genomics of long-distance migration in shorebirds, an extreme biological adaptation to seasonality. The research aims to identify genome regions involved in migratory adaptation and evaluate the influence of...
This $1,297,896 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will support research by Texas A&M University to investigate the evolutionary and neurogenomic mechanisms underlying species discrimination and behavioral isolation in North American stream fishes. The project will integrate genomic, transcriptomic, and functional approaches to connect patterns of behavioral, neural, and genomic variation within species to the larger processes of...
This $463,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research to study the origin and evolution of vertebrate diversity on the Marajo Island in the Amazon rainforest. The key activities include: Field collections of small vertebrates (amphibians, lizards, mammals) at four sites on Marajo Island Acquisition of genomic data from the collected samples and historical specimens from the Amazon basin Phylogenetic and population...
This federal Project Grant award, worth $426,296, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Texas at Austin. The project, titled "The Winning Team: Ecological Genomics of the Great Star Coral Cryptic Species Complex," aims to study the resilience of the Great Star Coral (Montastrea cavernosa) in Florida coral reefs. The research will use transcriptomics to examine the relative importance of plasticity within...
Texas A&M Agrilife Research received a $205,135 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support upgrades to the rapidly growing Texas A&M Collection of Fishes specimen storage, organization, and database management from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2024. The Biological Sciences program aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and...
This $918,053 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports fundamental and applied research to document and characterize the diverse communities of marine epizoic diatoms living on endangered marine megafauna. The overall project objectives are to: 1) describe and formally document up to 50 new species of epizoic diatoms; 2) reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships of these diatoms to understand their evolution and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $744,781 provides funding to the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the genetic and energetic basis of mitonuclear incompatibilities during the formation of new species in swordtail fish (Xiphophorus). The research aims to identify specific combinations of mitochondrial and nuclear genes that create reproductive barriers in hybridizing populations, leading to the development of new...
This $200,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at North Carolina State University (NC State) to investigate the genetic and regulatory mechanisms underlying developmental evolution in marine annelid species. The project combines comparative genomics, gene expression, and hybridization assays to uncover the relationship between evolutionary divergence and development, with the goal of understanding how...
