This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $329,069 to Colorado State University to investigate the potential role of songbirds as pollinators in North America. The research aims to: 1) identify bird characteristics and environmental factors associated with songbirds carrying pollen, 2) determine if certain plant morphologies are linked to higher probabilities of flower-foraging and pollen-carrying by songbirds, and 3)...
This $532,655 multi-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Utah State University (USU) to deepen the understanding of how birds respond to their environmental surroundings. The project aims to: 1) characterize the spatial scales at which hundreds of North American bird species respond to various environmental factors; 2) test hypotheses about the mechanisms generating these scale-dependent...

This $199,049 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) supports research to understand how visits by migratory animals like birds, bats, and insects impact plants at stopover sites during their annual migrations. The primary objectives are to use computer modeling to examine how these migratory animals, through pollination, seed dispersal, and other ecological interactions, affect the growth and spread of plant populations at stopover locations. As part of the project, the researchers will also work with a local St. Paul, Minnesota elementary school to expand student access to computer programming using robots. The award has a performance period from July 15, 2024 to June 30, 2028 and is being executed by the Regents of the University of Minnesota.
