This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) totaling $170,826 will support a collaborative research project led by Iowa State University of Science and Technology. The project will investigate the resilience of a foundational ant-acacia mutualism in savanna ecosystems following the removal of an invasive ant species. Specifically, the research will answer two key questions: (1) How faithfully do the stability-promoting feedback...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $642,713 Project Grant to the University of Central Florida (UCF) for the collaborative research project "RUI: The Influence of Ants on Regional-Scale Soil Carbon Dynamics". The research aims to advance the understanding of how abundant insects like ants affect soil conditions and microbial communities, which in turn impact soil carbon content at regional scales. The project involves a controlled field...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $799,458 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF) for the 3-year period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The grant is part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund collaborative research to integrate plant traits, phylogenies, and distributional data to forecast the risks and resilience of North American plant communities in response to climate and land use changes. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,631 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Connecticut (UConn) to conduct research on the behavior and ecological impacts of invasive plant species across the Americas. The 4-year project will investigate how "superinvader" woody plant species can dominate diverse forest environments through experimental studies comparing the growth, survival, and pest interactions of native and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded Yale University a $527,729 Project Grant titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RUI: THE INFLUENCE OF ANTS ON REGIONAL-SCALE SOIL CARBON DYNAMICS" through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). This 4-year grant supports research to understand how the abundant soil-dwelling ants impact soil carbon content and microbial communities at regional scales. The research involves a controlled field experiment to...
This $414,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds postdoctoral research fellowship activities from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship will support integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment and phenotypes. Specifically, the fellow will conduct multiple experiments in defaunated and intact tropical forests in Ecuador to investigate how the...
This $433,928 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund collaborative research by Clemson University to study invasive plant species across the Americas. The research teams will monitor the growth and survival of native and invasive tree saplings across light gradients in 10 locations, including temperate and tropical forests, to test the hypothesis that lower pest loads allow invasive species to circumvent the typical tradeoffs...
This Project Grant award of $919,730 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports fundamental and applied research on aphid phylogeny and the drivers of biological invasions. The key objectives are to (i) estimate phylogenetic relationships among aphid lineages, (ii) use comparative phylogenetic analyses to shed light on the causes of aphid invasiveness, and (iii) extend the reach of practical biodiversity science through international...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $364,196 project grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Lake Forest College, a private non-profit educational institution. The award, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RUI - EMERGENT PROPERTIES OF BIOMASS PULSES: UNCOVERING THE ANT-MEDIATED EFFECTS OF PERIODICAL CICADAS ON FOREST ECOSYSTEMS," will fund research to investigate the impacts of periodical cicada population explosions on ant foraging behaviors and their...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $199,586 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota Office of Sponsored Projects Administration to conduct research on the ecological and evolutionary consequences of mutualisms for species range expansion from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. This award supports research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise...
