This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $270,000 in funding from April 2026 to March 2029 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The project will investigate how changes in temperature and moisture influence thermal physiology across life stages and between tropical and temperate butterfly species. The research aims to improve predictive models of species vulnerability to environmental changes by integrating the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $487,916 to The Trustees of Smith College to conduct research on how the Baltimore checkerspot butterfly responds to changes in climate and novel host plant species. The key objectives are to: 1) investigate how host shifts affect the butterfly's exposure and tolerance to thermal stress and drought, 2) determine if host shifts are driven by synchronization between the butterfly and its host...
This $298,375 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports a collaborative research project focused on understanding how populations evolve in complex, changing environments. The primary awardee, Virginia Tech, will conduct both experimental and theoretical work to investigate the relationships between an individual's environmental preferences, developmental processes, and patterns of phenotypic plasticity. The researchers aim to develop a...
This $1,137,520 National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant awarded to Clemson University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to conduct integrative functional and quantitative genomics research on butterfly wing color and patterning. The work will identify the genetic architecture of a polygenic and polymorphic phenotype found in male butterflies, study the evolutionary processes underlying its adaptive gain, and test hypotheses about how this phenotype is driving...
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....
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $240,000 funds research and outreach activities from August 2024 to July 2027 related to the evolutionary drivers of iridescence under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellow will investigate the role of iridescence in butterflies as an anti-predator defense through three aims: video recording interactions between birds and experimentally modified butterflies; testing the developmental plasticity of iridescence under...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) that will investigate plant-butterfly dynamics across changing landscapes. The research project will address how variation in habitat quality affects native plant-butterfly networks, including several butterfly species known to migrate between the western United States and Mexico. The research...
This $747,521 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems supports collaborative research titled "The Intersection Between Cell Fate Decisions and Phenotypic Diversification in a Rapidly Radiating Butterfly Lineage." The grant funds research through July 2025 aimed at increasing scientific knowledge and understanding of major biological problems as part of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The Smithsonian Institution Office...
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...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $240,000 provides funding from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026 to investigate the genetic and ecological factors influencing parasite resistance in monarch butterflies. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences. Specifically, the grantee will conduct research at the University of Nevada, Reno to elucidate the direct and indirect pathways through which...
