This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $533,225 to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville will fund research to understand how behavioral responses allow some animals to cope with the growing challenges posed by extreme heat and rising temperatures.
The research will focus on a cavity-nesting bird species thriving in hot, humid environments in the southeastern U.S. Experiments will: 1) identify causes and consequences of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research aimed at incorporating behavioral science insights into models for predicting the eco-evolutionary responses of North American bird species to climate change. The $901,999 award to the University of Texas at Austin, spanning August 2024 to July 2027, will leverage indicators of behavioral flexibility, such as relative brain size, to improve forecasts of changes in...
This $352,653 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) for a research project titled "Interindividual Variation in Acclimatization Capacity as a Facilitator of Population Responsiveness to a Changing Climate". The project aims to investigate how individual birds of the dark-eyed junco species adapt their physiology in response to temperature changes, and...
This $640,205 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by Yale University to investigate the role of behavior in the process of adaptation and evolution. The key objectives are to:
Quantify how behavioral thermoregulation in anole lizards can buffer organisms from natural selection and facilitate gene flow across environmental gradients. This will involve field studies to measure thermal modification...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $769,355 to Colorado State University to investigate how arctic ground squirrels are responding to climate change-driven environmental shifts during hibernation. The research aims to assess how individual variation in physiological and behavioral traits, known as the "pace of life syndrome", influences the squirrels' resilience and vulnerability to the ongoing climate...
This $678,895 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Oregon State University to measure the real-time energy and fitness costs of metabolic and behavioral strategies employed by songbirds during inclement weather. Funded through the Biological Sciences program under the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, the five-year award beginning July 2023 will quantify how weather duration, type and severity influence songbird behavioral responses and metabolic costs. It...
This Project Grant award of $300,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities Program (CFDA 47.083) supports research by the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to investigate the relationship between environmental variation and the evolution of cooperative social groups in Australian birds. The project will leverage citizen science data and field experiments to understand how factors like temperature, rainfall, and land use impact group size...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $484,536 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to Colorado State University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will support research examining how two related alpine songbird species, the brown-capped rosy-finch and Sierra Nevada gray-crowned rosy-finch, have combined movement, evolutionary adaptation, and behavioral adjustment strategies to persist in extreme high-altitude...
