The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $190,295 project grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College (UVM) to study the climate change responses of the invasive spotted wing drosophila fly (Drosophila suzukii). The 4-year project will quantify the roles of local adaptation, seasonal adaptation, and phenotypic plasticity in the fly's overwintering biology and cold tolerance, using populations from Vermont and...
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 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...
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) 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 $535,370 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at Syracuse University to study the effects of warming temperatures and biotic interactions on aphid population dynamics. The research aims to improve understanding of factors affecting insect herbivore abundance under current and future climate scenarios. Key aspects of the project include: Conducting field experiments in a Rocky Mountain...
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...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $138,000 provides funding from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2025 to support an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship funding will support research and training focused on investigating the genomics, heat shock proteins, and climate change adaptations of desert-adapted asiloid fly species. The fellow will sequence genomes of asiloid fly groups to create a foundational dataset for further genomic studies. Identification...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $606,102 provides funding from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025 to determine the synergistic effects of global warming on fundamental vital rates, fitness, and predation of tropical insect herbivores. The award is made through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support basic biological research that strengthens the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the University of Connecticut will conduct experimental...
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...
