This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Wyoming to study the evolutionary effects of fish predation on zooplankton in high mountain lake ecosystems. The $307,371 award will be used to quantify differences in the elemental composition and nutrient cycling between zooplankton populations in lakes with and without introduced trout. The project aims to improve understanding of the impacts...
This two-year, $398,084 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at the University of California, Davis to study the effects of mega-wildfires on lake ecosystems in Northern California. Specifically, the award supports examining whether fish populations are eradicated in some or all lakes following wildfires over 1 million acres in size, and whether fish removal changes trophic cascades within the food web. It also analyzes how trophic cascade strength may vary with ecosystem...
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 $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...
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 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 $949,431 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, supports research to investigate how the timing of seasonal life cycles influences interactions among multiple species, especially indirect effects involving shared predators or resources. The project will integrate experiments studying amphibian pond communities with theoretical models to determine how variation in the sequence and spacing of species' phenologies...
This $311,397 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to integrate mathematical models and microcosm experiments to understand the effects of disturbances, such as fire, drought, and flooding, on community interactions in biological systems. The key objectives of the 3-year project (Aug 2024 - Jul 2027) are to: 1) Determine the differential impacts of pulse (short-term) versus press (long-term)...
This Project Grant award of $116,555.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a research project at the University of Arizona to investigate biological invasions across spatial scales. The project aims to compile an open-access database of species invasion data from the National Ecological Observatory Network and analyze it using advanced statistical methods. The goal is to better understand the relative roles of propagule pressure, abiotic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $425,311 to the Carnegie Institution for Science supports collaborative research on how winter conditions affect the ecological function of seasonally-frozen lakes. The multi-year project (11/1/2023 - 10/31/2027) will develop a comprehensive, predictive model of year-round lake ecosystem dynamics by: Conducting detailed seasonal studies of water quality, plankton populations, food webs, and organic matter cycling in 12 lakes with...
