This $303,254 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research exploring the idea that the earliest adaptive evolution occurred through self-amplifying cycles of chemical reactions, rather than nucleic acids. Over a three-year period from August 2022 to July 2025, Michigan State University will conduct theoretical and laboratory studies to analyze how mixtures of chemicals could...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $638,016 awarded to Claremont McKenna College on May 1, 2022 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) will support the development of new algorithms and software tools to analyze phylogenetic tree reconciliations. Specifically, the award will fund research to design efficient algorithms for identifying best representative reconciliations of pairs of phylogenetic trees, such as those depicting hosts and...
This four-year, $936,605 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining ecological and coevolutionary feedbacks in multi-mutualist communities. The researchers will use an experimental system of budding yeast strains that exchange nutrient resources to simulate mutualistic species interactions. They will manipulate the number of mutualist species and available environmental resources to evaluate how reciprocal trait...
This $457,904 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund the development of novel computational frameworks for biomolecular sequence analysis at Michigan State University from March 2022 through February 2027. The university will create new statistical resampling algorithms and mathematical models to move beyond traditional assumptions in phylogenetic analysis, such as treating sequences as independent and identically distributed or...
This $298,375 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports a collaborative research project focused on understanding how populations evolve in complex, changing environments. The primary awardee, Virginia Tech, will conduct both experimental and theoretical work to investigate the relationships between an individual's environmental preferences, developmental processes, and patterns of phenotypic plasticity. The researchers aim to develop a...
This $332,924 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research at the University of Nebraska from August 2022 to July 2025 investigating convergent evolution of mitochondrial cytochrome c maturation systems in plant and algal species. The research will use molecular biology, genetics, plant growth assays, and computational analysis to study numerous pathway switches and assess the mechanisms and evolutionary importance when there is...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $1,126,538 project grant to the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support research exploring the origin of life through ecological dynamics and adaptive evolution. Over a three-year period from August 2022 to July 2025, the university will conduct both theoretical and laboratory research to test the hypothesis that the earliest adaptive evolution occurred...
This Project Grant award of $240,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the evolutionary dynamics of recombination landscapes and adaptive trait architectures across varying degrees of gene flow. The research will leverage genomic tools, common garden experiments, and evolutionary simulations using the Atlantic silverside fish as a model organism. Key outcomes will include multiple...
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 $261,226 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (ULL) that aims to bridge ecosystem dynamics with evolutionary genetics. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Analyzing the persistence and stability of equilibria in ecological network models, and linking these to the underlying fitness...
