- This $696,680 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) on August 15, 2024. The grant will fund a collaborative research project titled "RUI: The Evolution of Salinity Tolerance in Monogonont Rotifers" that aims to investigate how monogonont rotifers, microscopic invertebrates, have adapted to survive fluctuating salinity levels. The research will enhance understanding...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $240,000 and provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), funds a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the evolution of ion transporter function in response to climate-driven salinity declines. The research will be conducted by a fellow and will contribute to the NSF's "Rules of Life" initiative, which seeks to understand the fundamental principles governing interactions between...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences project grant, awarded under CFDA 47.074, provides $242,000 to the University of Houston System to study the phenotypic plasticity and adaptive evolution of a freshwater microbial eukaryote in response to environmental changes caused by road salts and nanoparticle biocides. The 3-year project will measure organismal and gene expression traits before and after experimental evolution in contaminated environments to understand how...
- This Project Grant award of $270,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) for FY 2025 to study the evolutionary adaptations and microbial ecology of the extremophile choanoflagellate Barroeca monosierra. The research aims to investigate how environmental forces, such as high salinity, arsenic, and cyanide, have shaped the emergence of animals from unicellular ancestors. By examining the...
- The University of Massachusetts Lowell will conduct research on the life cycle evolution of rotifers under a $783,239 National Science Foundation Project Grant awarded April 15, 2021 through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to study how sexual reproduction influences contemporary systematics of monogonont rotifers. The Biological Sciences program supports basic research to advance understanding of major problems facing the nation in the biological sciences. The...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $649,543.00 to Bowdoin College to study the eco-evolutionary consequences of freshwater salinization in lake ecosystems. The research investigates how changing salt levels affect lake food webs, with a focus on Daphnia - a key freshwater grazer. Field surveys, common garden experiments, and mesocosm manipulations will quantify how Daphnia's rapid adaptation to salt stress ripples through...
