This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.050 Geosciences provides $1,599,823 to Trustees of Boston University to conduct an integrative investigation of dispersal plasticity using the clown anemonefish as a model system. The researchers are testing hypotheses on how parental environment quality impacts larval morphology, behavior, physiology, and gene expression, as well as how this affects larval dispersal distances. The project integrates laboratory experiments,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $818,793 supports collaborative research to resolve and predict dispersal kernels of marine larvae using population genetic models. The project team from Penn State University is working with researchers at Integral Consulting Inc. to study larval dispersal of six reef fish species across three isolated South Pacific archipelagos. The goal is to develop data-assimilated biophysical models of larval...
The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees Office of Research Division, doing business as UCF, has been awarded a $814,433 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The 3-year grant, effective July 1, 2024, supports collaborative research to resolve and predict dispersal patterns of marine larvae using population genetic models. The project team will apply isolation-by-distance theory to estimate mean parent-offspring dispersal distances for...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $240,000 in funding from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2027 to conduct research on how collective behavior in coral reef fishes impacts ecosystem function. The project will integrate field and lab studies to examine the relationship between individual fish behavior, group composition, and ecosystem-level processes in coral reef environments. The research aims to advance scientific...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, provided under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2023. The $240,000 award supports research and training to investigate the rules governing the evolution of convergent color patterns in the clownfish-sea anemone symbiosis. The research aims to determine the ecological conditions that led to the development of the three distinct color patterns observed across...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $196,218 to The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley to investigate the effects of marine heatwaves on reproduction, larval transport, and recruitment in purple sea urchin metapopulations. The project aims to develop oceanographic models to predict larval dispersal patterns and conduct experiments on adult reproductive success. This research will advance the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will examine the influence of mesoscale eddies on deep-sea dynamics and larval connectivity along mid-ocean ridges. The $311,553 award to the University of Delaware will utilize a multi-scale numerical ocean model and observational data on larval supply and colonization to simulate hydrodynamically mediated larval dispersal in the East Pacific Rise region over a 30-year period from...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $119,948 was made to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027. The primary project goals are to determine whether diatom-derived polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs) impair development, reduce fitness, and decrease survival in the embryos and larvae of two ecologically, commercially, and culturally important forage...
This $188,363 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports research by Trustees of Boston University to investigate why breeding individuals in animal social groups tolerate non-breeding members. The 5-year project will use the clown anemonefish as a model system, combining laboratory experiments, field work, and molecular genetics to evaluate hypotheses about the potential benefits to breeding pairs of living in larger groups. The research aims...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $749,548 Project Grant to Texas A&M University from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023 under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084). The grant supports research combining high-resolution climate simulations with ocean biogeochemistry, fisheries, and decision-making models to improve sustainable fisheries management. Texas A&M will collaborate with sub-awardees the University of Texas at Austin, University of...
