This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $150,174 to the Cal Poly Corporation at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, CA. The award runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The primary goal of this project is to use an eco-evolutionary framework to investigate the effects of variation in mating behavior on top-down ecological control. The research will focus on the sailfin molly fish...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) has awarded a Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) in the amount of $160,771 for the period of September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The grant will fund a research project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: POLYMORPHISM, MATING CONFLICT, AND THE STRENGTH OF TOP-DOWN CONTROL IN TROPHIC CASCADES." The project will investigate how variation in male mating strategies in sailfin molly...
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...
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...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund $321,072 in research at the Reed Institute under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from March 2022 through February 2025. The research aims to investigate the evolutionary and biological basis of physical and behavioral traits that are sex-biased toward male or female expression across multiple levels of biological organization. Researchers will study global hormone levels, metabolic enzymes, hormone...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award to Scripps College, with a CFDA program title of "Biological Sciences", provides $340,093 to support a 5-year research project investigating the behavioral and neural mechanisms through which early-life social environments shape individual development across species. The project will use the African cichlid fish model to uncover the causal attributes of social experience that influence behavioral phenotypes via plasticity in...
This $188,363 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports research by Trustees of Boston University to investigate why breeding individuals in animal social groups tolerate non-breeding members. The 5-year project will use the clown anemonefish as a model system, combining laboratory experiments, field work, and molecular genetics to evaluate hypotheses about the potential benefits to breeding pairs of living in larger groups. The research aims...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Program Project Grant award of $240,000 will fund a postdoctoral fellowship focused on integrating behavioral interactions across space and time to discover the rules linking phenotypic diversity to ecosystem function, with a specific focus on coral reef ecosystems. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: 1) Advancing scientific knowledge of collective behavior in coral reef fishes and...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $276,000 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to support research and training under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074).
