This $1,791,864 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to understand how landscape context and configuration interact with on-farm practices to shape pollinator supply, and how social, institutional, and environmental factors influence farmers' ability and interest in collective action to address pollinator declines. The research will be conducted by Cornell University, with sub-awards to the Centre for...
This $1.3 million National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Cornell University from June 2022 through May 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to characterize novel plant toxins in milkweed species and examine co-evolutionary relationships between milkweeds and specialist herbivores like monarch butterflies and milkweed bugs. Researchers will determine the mechanisms by which nitrogen-containing cardiac glycoside defenses in milkweeds...
