The project will develop simulation approaches and leverage existing datasets, including from the National Ecological Observatory Network, to improve the design of ecological...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) in the amount of $488,890 provides funding to the University of Notre Dame to study the response of biodiverse freshwater ecosystems to environmental changes caused by rising sea levels. The researchers will use the Izabal/Golfete system, a freshwater ecosystem in Eastern Guatemala, as a natural experiment to investigate how gradual versus rapid marine water inundation impacts the environment and...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $635,938.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will fund research examining how increasing environmental variability impacts fitness trade-offs across complex life cycles, focusing on a salamander species in New Hampshire. Key objectives include studying how timing of metamorphosis affects juvenile and adult traits, survival, and population dynamics. Additionally, the research will...
- This $605,949 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a research project titled "Reconnecting Water, Land, and Life: Enhancing Environmental Flow Models and Actions for River Corridor Ecosystem Resilience." The project, led by the University of New Mexico, aims to study how different water flow patterns, particularly those designed to mimic natural spring floods, affect the Rio Grande ecosystem in New Mexico....
- This $909,435 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research project led by Duke University to study the critical role of bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) in small stream and river ecosystems. The project aims to: Experimentally measure the impact of bryophytes on nutrient uptake, organic matter storage, and biodiversity in headwater streams within the Hubbard Brook Experimental...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $300,243 Project Grant to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research from January 2023 through December 2025. The research aims to understand how stochasticity and spatial context impact the dynamics of functional diversity in freshwater ecosystems under global change. Specifically, the grantee will conduct...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $444,570 to The University of South Dakota (USD) to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms that explain continental-scale patterns in the size spectra of organisms in freshwater stream ecosystems. The research aims to understand how energy flow, a crucial ecological process, shapes the distribution and abundance of different species across aquatic habitats. By leveraging data from the National Ecological Observatory Network, the project will examine environmental and ecological drivers of energy flow to determine their importance in maintaining key ecosystem functions and services provided by freshwater streams. The award supports a postdoctoral research position and will run from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028.
