This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) project grant awarded to the University of South Carolina for $199,814 from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026 will test how environmental variability and geographic distance between populations affect fluctuations in population size over time. The project will use observational data and theoretical models to assess the relationship between environmental variability and population dynamics, examine the underlying trait or phylogenetic basis for this relationship, and explore population variability across species' geographic ranges. The research aims to improve the ability to predict how population sizes will fluctuate in changing environments, which will benefit conservation and restoration efforts. The project will also provide hands-on research experience and train undergraduate students in building mathematical models. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
