This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research aimed at incorporating behavioral science insights into models for predicting the eco-evolutionary responses of North American bird species to climate change. The $901,999 award to the University of Texas at Austin, spanning August 2024 to July 2027, will leverage indicators of behavioral flexibility, such as relative brain size, to improve forecasts of changes in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports fundamental research to explore the cultural evolution and development of bird songs. The $352,744 award, with a project period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will be conducted by the President & Trustees of Williams College. The key objectives of the research are to: 1) understand the tradeoffs between the effectiveness of a song in attracting mates and the...
This $532,655 multi-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Utah State University (USU) to deepen the understanding of how birds respond to their environmental surroundings. The project aims to: 1) characterize the spatial scales at which hundreds of North American bird species respond to various environmental factors; 2) test hypotheses about the mechanisms generating these scale-dependent...
This $1.1 million project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at Oregon Health & Science University from September 2022 through August 2026 to study the mechanisms of neuron excitability for vocalizations in songbirds. The researchers will focus on the electrical properties of cells in well-studied brain regions involved in fine motor skills for song production. They...
This Project Grant award of $270,000 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the interplay between structural genetic variants, phenotype, and local adaptation in the horned lark songbird. The research aims to comprehensively examine how complex structural genetic changes, rather than just single nucleotide polymorphisms, contribute to population structure, speciation, and environmental adaptation in...
Duke University was awarded a $792,127 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Emerging Frontiers under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund a collaborative research project titled "INTBIO: Collaborative Research: Phenotypes of the Anthropocene: Integrating the Consequences of Sensory Stressors Across Biological Scales." The project will examine the physiological, behavioral, and fitness responses of six bird species to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund a $759,916 research project at Columbia University from January 1, 2025 to May 31, 2028. The project will examine the connection between migratory timing and resource availability in songbirds, in order to better understand how climate change is affecting the synchrony between migratory behaviors and environmental conditions. The research will estimate the plasticity and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology provides $199,926 to the University of South Carolina from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The funding supports research titled "EAGER: Testing for Genes Associated with Migratory Behavior in a Peripatetic Species" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The goal of the research is to test for genes associated with migratory behavior using a species known to travel...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The grant funds postdoctoral research examining the neural integration of acoustic signals across reproductive states in female birds. Consistent with the program's goal of advancing the biological sciences, this award will enhance understanding of how the brain processes sounds differently during breeding...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $779,001 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) on May 1, 2024. The grant supports a 3-year research study examining the adaptive benefits of daylight availability and the photoperiodism of transhemispheric migratory birds. The research aims to determine if longer summer daylight at higher latitudes accelerates parental provisioning and offspring growth...
