Specifically, the research aims to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program provides $240,000 in funding from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027 to conduct research on the evolutionary dynamics of recombination landscapes and adaptive trait architectures across varying degrees of gene flow. The key research objectives are to: (1) generate multiple linkage maps to examine recombination rate as an individual-level phenotype, (2) conduct a...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $138,000 supports genomic and behavioral research into the role of mate choice in biodiversity from June 2022 to May 2024. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award provides a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate genomic determinants of mate preferences in the marine worm Streblospio benedicti using genomics, molecular techniques, and behavioral assays. The fellow will explore how female preferences for males...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $268,647 project grant to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The award, effective October 1, 2024 through July 31, 2026, will support collaborative research to discover the integrated genomic and physiological mechanisms that enable some species of killifish to exhibit extreme phenotypic plasticity and thrive in highly variable environments. The project will...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Wyoming to study the evolutionary effects of fish predation on zooplankton in high mountain lake ecosystems. The $307,371 award will be used to quantify differences in the elemental composition and nutrient cycling between zooplankton populations in lakes with and without introduced trout. The project aims to improve understanding of the impacts...
This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $207,000 supports research on color polymorphism in nature as a model for predicting phenotypic evolution. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award will allow the grantee at San Francisco State University to investigate color variation in organisms and its implications for evolution from July 2021 through June 2024. The overarching goal of the Biological Sciences program is to advance the field and...
This two-year National Science Foundation project grant of $276,000 supports postdoctoral research fellowship activities focused on advancing understanding of social dominance behaviors through integrative research. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the fellowship will investigate how past social interactions shape self-assessment of fighting ability in Amazon mollies through a Bayesian framework. The fellow will conduct two experiments to test whether the winner-effect...
