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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) award of $149,752 will fund a collaborative research project at the University of Oklahoma examining the impacts of variation in mating behavior of sailfin molly fish on top-down ecological control within aquatic communities. The project will use mesocosm experiments to evaluate how the frequency of different male mating strategies (courtship vs. sneaking) affects female foraging rates, with the goal of understanding how...
The University of California Irvine received a three-year $800,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences. The award falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support the research project "Dissecting the Phenotypic and Functional Consequences of Sexual Selection on Sperm Competition through a Species-Specific Multigene Family." The grant will fund research from September 2021 through August 2024 to...
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). The award will fund postdoctoral research by Madilyn Gamble at the University of California, Santa Cruz investigating the genetic underpinnings and evolutionary consequences of alternative reproductive tactics in steelhead trout. Specifically, the research aims to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) in the amount of $700,944 provides funding to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2030. The award aims to identify three-dimensional "biological hotspots" - areas of high marine productivity critical for species - using northern elephant seals as ocean sentinels. The project will validate methods for measuring fish biomass in the ocean's...
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 $268,647 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support research to gain an integrative understanding of the mechanisms that enable certain species of killifish to exhibit extreme physiological flexibility and thrive in highly variable environments. The research will compare the genetic and physiological traits of killifish species with varying degrees of euryhalinity, or the ability to tolerate large...
This Project Grant award of $240,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship. The fellowship will investigate how interactions between individual coral reef fish drive ecosystem-level functions, with a focus on the highly social planktivore species Chromis multilineata. The research will integrate field observations and lab experiments to understand the relationship between individual behavioral...
