This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $101,855 to the College of Charleston to conduct collaborative research on the evolutionary history and host-adapted diversification of barnacles epizootic (living on the exterior) with marine megafauna such as sea turtles and whales. The research aims to 1) study the genetic tags and evolutionary history of barnacle attachment mechanisms, 2) assess the potential use of barnacles as...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $296,162 to Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, aims to study the evolutionary history and genetic diversity of barnacles that attach to sea turtles and whales. The key objectives are to: 1) construct a phylogeny mapping the evolutionary timeline of barnacle attachment mechanisms (gluing, gripping, and gouging); 2) compare global phylogeographic patterns of barnacle species across...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $1,022,535.00 to George Washington University will fund a research project on the phylogenomics and evolution of sexual systems in barnacles. The key products will be: A robust phylogenetic framework for all known barnacle species, which will be integrated into online resources like the Open Tree of Life. This will provide a much-needed evolutionary context for studying the diverse...
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 program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant, awarded to New York University (NYU) on August 1, 2024, provides $552,466 in funding over a 3-year period to conduct collaborative research on the phylogeny, systematics, and adaptation of marine epizoic diatoms to endangered megafaunal hosts. The key objectives of this project are to: 1) document and describe up to 50 new diatom species living on marine animals like sea turtles, whales, and manatees;...
This $137,133 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research by the University of California, Merced and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The research aims to reconstruct the interactions and dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems, focusing on the evolution of large marine organisms like baleen whales during periods of climate change and resource exploitation. The project will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $506,686 Project Grant to Denison University to study the evolutionary relationships and genomic changes associated with eusociality in Synalpheus snapping shrimp. The grant, funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support phylogenomic analysis, morphological assessments, and molecular evolution studies on approximately 130 Synalpheus species globally. The project aims to identify morphological preadaptations and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology Project Grant for $697,690.00 awarded to the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Foundation aims to resolve the phylogenetic relationships within the diverse crustacean order Peracarida. The project will apply a target capture phylogenomic approach, incorporating new genome and transcriptome data, to construct a robust phylogenetic framework for the group. In addition, the project will assess peracarid biodiversity...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $873,836 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) on August 15, 2024. The grant will fund a 5-year research project to investigate rapid evolution in reef-building corals during marine heatwave events. The project aims to study how the mortality induced by these extreme climate events changes the genetic composition of coral populations. Using a combination of field experiments...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $582,629 Project Grant to the University of Alabama Office for Sponsored Programs Division under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). This 4-year grant aims to resolve the phylogenetic relationships within the extremely diverse order of crustacean animals known as Peracarida. The project will leverage a target capture phylogenomic approach, including the generation of 3 new genomes and 50 new...
