This $414,830 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) to Macalester College will investigate the ecological drivers of social behavior in a non-model population of lions in Kenya's Tsavo ecosystem. The study will use advanced biotelemetry, remote cameras, and direct observations to track individual lions and their groups, examining territorial dynamics and factors governing social cohesion amidst varying resources and competition. The project will also develop a new lion monitoring software tool to support long-term research, education, and conservation efforts. Additionally, the project will provide immersive field and analytical research experiences for undergraduate and post-baccalaureate researchers, while integrating the findings into course curricula to advance the NSF's mission of building a broad and robust STEM workforce. The award period runs from July 2025 through June 2028.
