This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research by Northeastern University to study the climate change responses of the invasive spotted wing drosophila fly, Drosophila suzukii. The $528,593 award, effective from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2027, will quantify the roles of local adaptation, seasonal adaptation, and phenotypic plasticity in the fly's ability to expand its habitat into northern latitudes...
The University of Kentucky Research Foundation received a $162,133 National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) Project Grant award on December 1, 2024. The grant will fund a collaborative research project titled "Climate Change Responses in a Globally Invasive Insect: Quantifying the Roles of Local Adaptation, Seasonal Adaptation, and Phenotypic Plasticity." The research will investigate the genetic, physiological, and ecological factors underlying the...
This $324,904 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Crop Protection and Pest Management Competitive Grants Program (CFDA 10.329) will advance integrated pest management (IPM) for berry crops threatened by the invasive spotted-wing drosophila fly. The project, led by Michigan State University, will combine fruit sampling techniques to inform management decisions with research on the biological control agents developing...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Predicting How Climate Change Will Impact Insect Adaptation to Host Plant Resistance" from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct basic research promoting progress in the biological sciences and strengthening understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, the two-year grant will fund research...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $396,000 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to study the evolutionary adaptations that allow the fly species Drosophila sechellia to feed exclusively on the toxic noni fruit. The research aims to identify the specific genes responsible for D. sechellia's unique taste preferences and reduced sensitivity to the bitter chemicals in noni fruit compared to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining how climate change impacts microbial symbionts and their interactions with terrestrial organisms, particularly aphids. The $589,012 grant awarded to Drexel University on August 15, 2023 will fund a collaborative research project studying the mechanisms by which temperature changes disrupt protective symbiont relationships, and conversely, how symbionts may...
The University of Vermont & State Agricultural College was awarded a $331,979 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant to conduct research on the ecological genomics of adaptation in a rocky shore predator-prey interaction. The research project aims to: 1) determine the level of migration and gene flow among populations of a low dispersing marine snail species, 2) identify genomic patterns of selection using environmental data and detailed...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $502,161 to Appalachian State University to investigate the impacts of evolutionary novelty on generalist species. Specifically, the award will fund research examining toxin tolerance in Drosophila tripunctata fruit flies that use diverse mushrooms and fruits as hosts. The university will test hypotheses about how toxin tolerance...
The University of Denver, through a $382,324.00 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences), is conducting collaborative research to investigate the potential impacts of climate change on the interaction between parasitic botflies and high-elevation deer mice. The research aims to determine whether botflies will expand into higher elevations as the climate warms, and how this may negatively...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $716,280 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana. The grant funds a collaborative research project to investigate the potential impacts of climate change on the interactions between parasitic botfly larvae and high-elevation deer mice populations. The research aims to develop predictive models for how novel host-parasite dynamics may evolve under shifting environmental...
