- 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 $297,323 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The funding supports a collaborative research project to study how habitat structure, specifically the spatial arrangement of plants and resources, impacts avian biodiversity across local to continental scales. Using airborne and satellite Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, the project will explore the...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $973,030 supports research into the rapid phenotypic evolution of pigmentation genes in South American seed-eating birds (genus Sporophila) through 2025. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award enables detailed study of the chemical, structural, and genetic mechanisms underlying color production and patterning in avian feathers. Researchers from Cornell University will analyze pigment composition, nano- and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to study thermoregulatory evolution of hummingbirds using urban heat islands. Over a three-year period from June 2024 through May 2027, the fellow will investigate how urban heat is affecting the evolution of complex thermoregulatory traits and genetic divergence in hummingbirds across four cities located along a latitudinal gradient. The fellow will measure...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $484,536 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to Colorado State University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will support research examining how two related alpine songbird species, the brown-capped rosy-finch and Sierra Nevada gray-crowned rosy-finch, have combined movement, evolutionary adaptation, and behavioral adjustment strategies to persist in extreme high-altitude...
- 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) provides $436,664 to North Carolina State University to develop comprehensive artificial intelligence (AI) tools to analyze camera trap images of animals from around the world. The goal is to understand animal coloration and camouflage mismatch in seasonal environments due to climate change. The 4-year project will create opportunities for the scientific community to explore questions...
