Project Grant 2409877
- This $300,002 National Science Foundation project grant funds research examining the reassembly of native ant assemblages following the landscape-scale removal of the introduced Argentine ant from Santa Cruz Island, California. Led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, the five-year award will quantify the structural and functional recovery of native ant communities through measuring genetic diversity, species diversity, trophic position, and ecological function. Insights...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $276,000 will fund an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025. The fellowship supports integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment and phenotypes under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellow will analyze genomic and phenotypic data from rattlesnake hybrid zones to understand the evolution of reproductive isolation. By comparing...

- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the impacts of climate change on insect phenotypes, populations, and communities. The research aims to: 1) build a model to estimate how insect traits like body size and developmental timing respond to temperature variation, 2) quantify how these phenotypic changes affect population dynamics, and 3) determine how...
- This $240,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027, will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the role of symbiosis in driving the evolution and diversification of Hawaiian cixiid planthoppers. The research aims to leverage the unique geography and biodiversity of Hawaii to understand how microbial partnerships may contribute to host species diversity...
- This $414,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds postdoctoral research fellowship activities from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship will support integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment and phenotypes. Specifically, the fellow will conduct multiple experiments in defaunated and intact tropical forests in Ecuador to investigate how the...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $414,000 Project Grant to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The Fellowship will fund integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments, and phenotypes. Specifically, the Fellow will monitor evolution in heat tolerance plasticity of anole lizards on islands in Panama that have...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025. The $270,000 award will fund research and training of the postdoctoral fellow to contribute to innovative advances in the understanding of how insect diets have evolved over time and the relationship between diet shifts and species formation. The key products/services to be delivered include: 1) Reconstructing the...
- NSF POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN BIOLOGY FY 2021: INVADERS FROM THE SEA: UNEARTHING THE GENOMIC BASIS OF MARINE-TO-TERRESTRIAL LIFE-HISTORY TRANSITIONS This $207,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure will fund research from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant aims to advance understanding of major problems confronting the nation by promoting progress in the biological sciences....
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund $240,000 over three years to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship will fund integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments, and phenotypes in driving the diversification of North American lizards during adaptive radiation. The fellow will generate reference genomes for Anolis lizards, apply cytogenetic techniques to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes in the Argentine ant (Linepithema humile), an invasive species with significant negative impacts on native ecosystems and agriculture. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: This 3-year award will provide the postdoctoral fellow with training and research experience in field data collection, genomics, and advanced behavioral tracking methods. The findings are expected to advance fundamental understanding of the evolution of cooperation and conflict, as well as inform management strategies for mitigating damage caused by this highly invasive ant species.
