This $158,371 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund collaborative research on the integrated dynamics between plants and aphids mediated by above- and below-ground mutualisms in a rapidly warming Rocky Mountain ecosystem. The research aims to: Integrate the direct effects of temperature on aphid development with indirect effects driven by shifts in above- and below-ground ecological interactions. Assess...
This $535,370 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at Syracuse University to study the effects of warming temperatures and biotic interactions on aphid population dynamics. The research aims to improve understanding of factors affecting insect herbivore abundance under current and future climate scenarios. Key aspects of the project include: Conducting field experiments in a Rocky Mountain...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining how climate change impacts microbial symbionts and their interactions with terrestrial organisms, particularly aphids. The $589,012 grant awarded to Drexel University on August 15, 2023 will fund a collaborative research project studying the mechanisms by which temperature changes disrupt protective symbiont relationships, and conversely, how symbionts may...
This Project Grant award of $919,730.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program is funding research to analyze phylogenetic and ecological patterns in the diversity of aphids, one of the most invasive animal species and important agricultural pests. The key objectives are to: (i) estimate phylogenetic relationships among aphid lineages, (ii) use comparative phylogenetic analyses to understand the drivers of biological invasion in aphids, and...
This Project Grant award of $844,511.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research investigating the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of pea aphids and their parasitoid wasp predator, Aphidius ervi. The research aims to uncover how the balance between pea aphid resistance and susceptibility to predators is maintained, and how agricultural management practices can reduce the risks of agricultural pests becoming resistant. The...
This Project Grant award of $422,183 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at Southern Oregon University (SOU) to investigate how temperature and nutrient interactions affect the physiology and ecology of the migratory grasshopper, a major rangeland pest in the United States. The project aims to improve ecological forecasting and inform pest management strategies to support national food security. Through a combination of...
This Project Grant award of $509,821 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research investigating the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of pea aphids and their parasitoid wasp, Aphidius ervi. The key objectives are to understand how the rapid evolution of pea aphid resistance to their natural predators impacts agricultural pest control, and how this evolutionary-ecological balance is maintained. The research, conducted by the University of...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $606,102 provides funding from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025 to determine the synergistic effects of global warming on fundamental vital rates, fitness, and predation of tropical insect herbivores. The award is made through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support basic biological research that strengthens the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the University of Connecticut will conduct experimental...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the impacts of climate change on insect phenotypes, populations, and communities. The research aims to: 1) build a model to estimate how insect traits like body size and developmental timing respond to temperature variation, 2) quantify how these phenotypic changes affect population dynamics, and 3) determine how...
