This Project Grant award of $1,275,000 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program will support fundamental research on dryland ecosystems in the Jornada Basin of the southwestern United States. The primary research goals are to study the shift from grasslands to shrub-dominated landscapes, including examining the effects on carbon and nutrient cycling, wind and water erosion, and plant-animal interactions. The award will fund field...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $288,060 to Kent State University to study the effects of warming temperatures and biotic interactions on aphid populations in a Rocky Mountain ecosystem. The key objectives are to: (1) integrate the direct effects of temperature on aphid development with indirect effects driven by shifts in above- and belowground interactions, (2) assess local adaptation within plant-aphid...
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 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 $664,796 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project that aims to investigate the vulnerability of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog prey in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest to climate change impacts. The research team at Colorado State University will leverage cutting-edge genomics, physiology, and computational modeling to assess thermal adaptation, adaptive capacity,...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $270,000 to support a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship. The research aims to investigate the evolutionary drivers and consequences of insect diet shifts over time, with a focus on the seed bug superfamily. The key products and services to be delivered include: Reconstructing the evolutionary phylogeny of the seed bug superfamily to trace historical diet shifts;...
This $949,431 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, supports research to investigate how the timing of seasonal life cycles influences interactions among multiple species, especially indirect effects involving shared predators or resources. The project will integrate experiments studying amphibian pond communities with theoretical models to determine how variation in the sequence and spacing of species' phenologies...
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...
