- This $269,173 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is funding collaborative research at Stanford University to investigate the genetic and energetic basis of mitonuclear incompatibilities during speciation in swordtail fish. The research aims to identify specific combinations of mitochondrial and nuclear genes that create reproductive barriers and impact hybrid fitness, including examining how these incompatibilities...
- This federal Project Grant award for $480,454 was provided by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) for the research project "Collaborative Research: Male-Male Competition and Speciation: Behavioral and Neuromolecular Mechanisms Underlying Aggression Biases in Cichlids." The project, which runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2030, will use a combination of social learning experiments, genetic...
- This $1,297,896 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will support research by Texas A&M University to investigate the evolutionary and neurogenomic mechanisms underlying species discrimination and behavioral isolation in North American stream fishes. The project will integrate genomic, transcriptomic, and functional approaches to connect patterns of behavioral, neural, and genomic variation within species to the larger processes of...
- This National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $515,158 to The University of Texas at San Antonio from October 2022 to September 2025. The award will support research to develop next-generation species distribution models that integrate organism-level bioenergetic budgets with community-level predator-prey interactions. Researchers will conduct laboratory experiments and field studies on fish populations in Southern Appalachian streams...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $471,066.00 to Texas State University to revolutionize the use of poeciliid fishes (guppies, mollies, and swordtails) as a model system for genome editing research. The project aims to develop new methods for precise DNA editing in these fish, which have proven valuable for studying human diseases and animal behavior/development but have lacked such tools. Key deliverables include...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded a $546,576 project grant to the University of California Santa Cruz under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support collaborative research on physiological adaptation and speciation in extreme environments from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The award will fund integrated analyses of how selection shapes genomic divergence between fish populations living in hydrogen sulfide-rich springs...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology from March 1, 2022 to February 29, 2024. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research investigating the behavioral and genetic mechanisms underlying invasiveness at the place of performance in Austin, Texas. The Biological Sciences program aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $482,979 supported research at the University of Texas at Austin from January 2023 to December 2025 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The award funded a collaborative research project to study the brown-capped rosy-finch and Sierra Nevada gray-crowned rosy-finch. The research aims to establish a pre-climate change baseline for the species using museum specimens and examine current coping strategies across their...
