This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $249,000 provides funding to Aidan Short for a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of South Carolina. The research, conducted under the sponsorship of Drs. Carolyn Wessinger and John Kelly, will investigate how floral isolation contributes to complex trait evolution and plant speciation. The project aims to 1) estimate the evolutionary history of floral trait genes, 2) analyze genome-wide...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $1,346,335 in funding to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. to study the genomic basis of complex floral trait differences between related plant species. The key products and services to be delivered through this 4-year project include: 1) Using advanced genomic technologies to identify the precise DNA differences that distinguish bee-pollinated and...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026 to support research examining the genetic, physiological, and environmental drivers of plant-pollinator niche dynamics across scales of biological organization. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023. The grant funds postdoctoral research at Utah State University in Logan, Utah to study the evolution of extended floral phenotypes. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through basic research on major problems. This award will further those goals by...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology provides $850,485 to The Pennsylvania State University from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "How many routes to the same phenotype? Genetic changes underlying parallel acquisition of mimetic color patterns across bumble bees." This research aligns with the goals of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the...
This $419,230 five-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will evaluate the contribution of sensory drive to the divergence of flower color in plant species. Led by Clemson University researchers, the project aims to understand how flower color may evolve differently between populations without major shifts in pollinator species by studying populations of Phacelia dubia, a bee-pollinated...
This two-year, $276,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research investigating the early stages of species diversification. The awardee will conduct integrative research examining how an organism's local environment shapes the evolution of its physical traits and genetic makeup. Specifically, the awardee will characterize incipient divergence among flowering plants by examining floral trait variation in the recently radiating Castilleja genus. Genomic and...
This $1,137,520 National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant awarded to Clemson University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to conduct integrative functional and quantitative genomics research on butterfly wing color and patterning. The work will identify the genetic architecture of a polygenic and polymorphic phenotype found in male butterflies, study the evolutionary processes underlying its adaptive gain, and test hypotheses about how this phenotype is driving...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $432,000 in funding to Dr. Benjamin Stone at the University of South Carolina from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The grant supports Dr. Stone's postdoctoral research fellowship, which will generate novel molecular and phenotypic data on floral divergence and reproductive isolation in natural hybrid zones of Penstemon...
This $501,592 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Sacramento to study the genetic and environmental factors influencing nectar variation in the Aquilegia genus of plants. The goal is to identify genes controlling variation in nectar volume, composition and metabolites between closely related Aquilegia species adapted to different pollinators like hummingbirds and hawk moths. Researchers will analyze nectar characteristics of four Aquilegia species...
