This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 to fund a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the effects of interspecific interactions and local climate on species distributions under climate change. The research will investigate how competition and local environmental factors impact the current distributions of two fish species, largemouth bass and walleye, and predict how future water temperature increases may alter their future ranges. As part of the training plan, the postdoctoral fellow will also provide mentoring to underrepresented postdoctoral associates and late-stage graduate students to enhance diversity in the biological sciences. The award period runs from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027.
