This Project Grant award of $434,429 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports research on how environmental conditions shape cooperation in social wasps across sub-Saharan Africa. The researchers at Columbia University will conduct field experiments, social network analysis using AI, and genomic and morphological studies of the African paper wasp Belonogaster juncea. They aim to determine how environmental variability, from arid...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $265,065 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. The project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: HOW DO GALL-FORMING INSECTS ESCAPE DIVERSE AND EVOLVING CLADES OF PARASITIC WASPS - AND HOW DO PARASITES CATCH UP?", will study the diversity and evolutionary histories of oak gall wasps and their parasitic wasp predators. The research will document the parasitic wasps that...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $639,125 to the University of Iowa provides funding for a collaborative research project to study the evolutionary relationships between oak gall-forming insects and their parasitic wasp predators. The research will document the diversity of oak gall wasps and their associated parasitic wasps across the continental United States, with the goal of understanding how gall-forming insects evade these...
This federal Project Grant award of $280,113 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research to study how gall-forming insects evade parasitic wasps and how the parasites adapt to their hosts. The research team from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton, including a postdoctoral scholar, three graduate students, and several undergraduates, will document the parasitic wasps that attack hundreds of oak gall insect...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $448,258 Project Grant to The Trustees of Grinnell College, doing business as Grinnell College, a private liberal arts college in Iowa. The award, under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support a research project titled "RUI: Conflicting Selection Pressures within Mate Choice of Jewelwing Damselflies." The project will examine selection on damselfly wing pigmentation, a trait used...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $607,076 in funding to the Regents of the University of Michigan from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research to advance understanding of social partner choice and its consequences in social animals. Researchers will analyze partner choice decisions in paper wasp species as they form...
This $975,393 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support a collaborative research project at the University of California, Berkeley. The project aims to integrate rapid assessment technologies, including satellite, helicopter, drone, and ground-based monitoring, with high-throughput arthropod biodiversity sequencing to examine shifts in insect and spider populations across gradients of native and invaded forest habitats in...
This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $207,000 supports research on color polymorphism in nature as a model for predicting phenotypic evolution. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award will allow the grantee at San Francisco State University to investigate color variation in organisms and its implications for evolution from July 2021 through June 2024. The overarching goal of the Biological Sciences program is to advance the field and...
This Project Grant award of $200,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology supports collaborative research at Saint Louis University to investigate how competition for vibrational acoustic space impacts insect diversity. The researchers will test the "acoustic niche hypothesis" by recording insect vibrations and collecting insect samples from prairie sites with varying management histories. The goal is to understand how partitioning of vibrational...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Cornell University a $760,528 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research on the regulatory basis of repeated color pattern evolution in butterflies. The research aims to address fundamental questions about the structure, function, and evolution of cis-regulatory elements, which play an essential role in phenotypic evolution by regulating gene expression patterns during development....
