This $671,535 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining the recovery trajectories of prey communities after the removal of non-native predator species, such as fish, from mountain lakes in the Sierra Nevada region of California. The key objectives are to elucidate the connections between taxonomic and functional recovery of these ecosystems, identify indicators of community vulnerability based on...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of USD 202,860 to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho, supports a collaborative research study on the vulnerability of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog prey to climate change in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The research team will use a multidisciplinary approach combining DNA sequencing, physiology experiments, and computer...
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,...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $231,912 to the University of Washington to conduct research on the hydrodynamic consequences of spines on zooplankton. The key objectives are to: Determine the functional consequences of the presence, location, and morphology of spines on hydrodynamic forces and torques on zooplankton larvae. Evaluate the functional consequences of spines and appendage kinematics on the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA program 47.074 Biological Sciences provides $240,000 in funding from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The award will fund research investigating the anatomical, physiological, and behavioral mechanisms used by bony fishes for buoyancy regulation. The research aims to develop a predictive model of buoyancy regulation strategies based on fish ecology and phylogenetics. In addition to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify the temporal patterns (up to 40 years) of biomass production, nutrient cycling, and piscivory by fish assemblages across 800 spatial locations spanning six European large marine ecosystems. The $393,925 project will also measure the influences of environmental and human factors on these fish-mediated ecosystem functions across space and time by integrating standardized bottom...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $374,722 to the University of Wisconsin - Madison provides funding for research to determine how the functions of ion transporter alleles are evolving in response to climate change-driven shifts in salinity in coastal habitats. The research integrates physiological and evolutionary approaches to 1) discover allelic combinations that enhance ion transport function and maximize fitness under...
This $450,260 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research by the University of Montana to investigate the vulnerabilities of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog prey to climate change in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The research team will use a multidisciplinary approach combining DNA sequencing, physiology experiments, and computer modeling to test hypotheses about the thermal sensitivities and...
