This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $1,239,776 to the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) to conduct collaborative research on the role of gene copy number variation in determining detoxification capacity, individual fitness, and population dynamics of a vertebrate herbivore. The key objectives of this 4-year research project are to: 1) identify individual copy number variation in detoxification genes, 2)...
This $298,375 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports a collaborative research project focused on understanding how populations evolve in complex, changing environments. The primary awardee, Virginia Tech, will conduct both experimental and theoretical work to investigate the relationships between an individual's environmental preferences, developmental processes, and patterns of phenotypic plasticity. The researchers aim to develop a...
This $687,357 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to study repeated evolution in a diverse group of alpine beetles. The researchers will explore whether natural selection has acted on the same molecular pathways as species adapted to alpine environments during past climate cycles. Comparative genomic and stress tolerance experiments will test for evidence of repeated evolution and identify the genetic mechanisms...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $901,045 Project Grant to the Reed Institute, doing business as Reed College, with an award date of August 1, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2028. This grant will fund research entitled "RUI: ON THE ORIGIN OF GENETIC VARIATION: INVESTIGATING THE CAUSES OF VARIATION IN MUTATION RATES AND SPECTRA." The research aims to advance the understanding of how genetic variation is...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $270,000 in funding over a 3-year period starting July 1, 2025. The award supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding how pathogens influence the success of invasive rodent species in New England. The research will involve generating a historical time transect of native and invasive rodent metagenomes to analyze host genome adaptations and pathogen...
This $285,014 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund research to better understand the evolutionary drivers behind the diverse phenotypes (appearances) observed in a species of poison frog, Dendrobates tinctorius. The research aims to identify the genetic factors responsible for these phenotypic differences and characterize the demographic structure of D. tinctorius populations to explore the interplay between...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant to fund a postdoctoral fellowship investigating the genomic and environmental factors underlying reproductive isolation and adaptive introgression in speckled rattlesnakes. The 3-year award, effective September 1, 2024, will support research and training to understand how natural selection influences speciation, as well as the development of online tutorials and book chapters on...
This $664,796 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project that aims to investigate the vulnerability of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog prey in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest to climate change impacts. The research team at Colorado State University will leverage cutting-edge genomics, physiology, and computational modeling to assess thermal adaptation, adaptive capacity,...
NSF POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN BIOLOGY FY 2021: ELUCIDATING GENOMIC, TRANSCRIPTOMIC, AND PHENOTYPIC CONSEQUENCES OF GENETIC RESCUE IN WILD POPULATIONS This two-year $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure will fund research into the genomic, transcriptomic, and phenotypic consequences of genetic rescue in wild populations. The grant was awarded under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,419,596 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). The grant aims to identify the genetic basis of phenotypic plasticity - the ability of organisms to change their physical traits in response to environmental changes. Specifically, the research will study genetic variation underlying the spectacular carnivore larval morph in Mexican spadefoot toads, which is...
