This $115,936 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research on the evolutionary history and species delineations of coronuloid barnacles (arthropod crustaceans) that are epizoic with marine megafauna like sea turtles and whales. The key research objectives are to: 1) construct a phylogeny mapping the evolutionary chronology of barnacle attachment mechanisms (gluing, gripping, gouging); 2) compare global...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $708,199.00 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to develop a robust, open-source toolkit for analyzing ichthyoliths (microfossil fish teeth and shark scales) to study fish evolution and ecology. The award will fund the creation of a machine learning-based framework for taxonomic classification of ichthyoliths, which will then be used to investigate fish abundance,...
This $199,919 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research by Sociedad Ambiente Marino Inc. on the causes and impacts of a resurgent die-off of the long-spined black sea urchin (Diadema antillarum) in the Caribbean.
