This $311,397 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to integrate mathematical models and microcosm experiments to understand the effects of disturbances, such as fire, drought, and flooding, on community interactions in biological systems. The key objectives of the 3-year project (Aug 2024 - Jul 2027) are to: 1) Determine the differential impacts of pulse (short-term) versus press (long-term)...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $2,999,753 Project Grant to Louisiana State University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to establish the Louisiana Graduate Network in Applied Evolution from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2026. The grant will fund training for three cohorts of 10 post-baccalaureate scholars from underrepresented groups in evolutionary biology research projects at Louisiana universities. Trainees will engage in a year-long research...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $229,210 EAGER (Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research) project grant to the University of Mississippi. The grant titled "Surveying Impacts of Community Context on Adaptive Mutational Landscapes" will run from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2025. The project aims to examine how community context alters species evolution using new techniques in whole-genome analyses. It will bridge the fields of...
This $55,944 National Science Foundation project grant through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research between Louisiana State University and mathematicians and ecologists. The project aims to advance understanding of species coexistence in fragmented habitats through integrated experimental and mathematical analysis. Researchers will experimentally measure how density-dependent emigration relationships and important life history tradeoffs...
This two-year, $276,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds statistical modeling and simulation research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grantee will develop a unified theoretical, empirical and computational framework to predict how ecological and evolutionary dynamics propagate in response to perturbations across scales over time. Using agent-based simulations of random and experimentally perturbed eco-evolutionary systems, the grantee will characterize...
This $280,634 federal Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research at the University of Florida on how individual variation in species traits can influence ecosystem stability. The project aims to develop a theoretical framework for studying "trait-shift induced interaction modification" and its effects on ecological dynamics. Researchers will integrate mathematical modeling and empirical analysis to...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research to model the complex dynamics of viruses and bacteria in natural microbiomes. The $400,000 award, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027, will enable the University of Miami to develop innovative data science and mathematical approaches to identify "keystone" viruses that critically influence microbial community...
This $1,108,345 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to characterize the evolutionary transition of host-microbe interactions from commensal symbionts to blood parasites in apicomplexan organisms, which include the parasites that cause malaria. The project, led by the University of Rhode Island, will use advanced microscopy and genomics to compare the cellular invasion machinery between...
This $231,141 federal Project Grant, awarded on August 1, 2024 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), seeks to understand the process by which virus-derived genetic material can be integrated into host organisms such as insects and then utilized for the benefit of the host. The research will focus on multiple examples of these evolutionary processes, with the goal of discerning physiological and genetic patterns that lead to new traits and increased...
This $926,511 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund collaborative research to develop a framework for studying "higher order interactions" (HOI) - simultaneous interactions among multiple components in complex systems. The funded work aims to examine the causes and consequences of HOI, using a model system of Argentine ant foraging and food transmission to develop mathematical tools from algebraic...
