- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program awarded a $722,198 Project Grant to the College of the Holy Cross to investigate how lineage-specific "orphan" genes contribute to the maturation and function of sperm in male Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies). The research objectives include evaluating the extent to which these genes' functions are conserved across divergent fly species. The project will also expand the research capacity of the...
- This Project Grant award of $763,751 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research by Tufts University to investigate the speciation process and barriers to gene exchange in the European corn borer moth. The key research objectives are to: 1) explore the history of species spread and potential co-occurrence of distinct barriers through genome resequencing, 2) determine if prezygotic isolation traits contribute to postzygotic isolation...
- This $1,400,000.00 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research on the phylogenetics and evolutionary genetics of sexual dimorphism in bagworm moths. The research will involve collecting global bagworm species, constructing a phylogeny to understand evolutionary transitions in sexual dimorphism, and generating genomic resources to uncover the genetic mechanisms controlling sexually dimorphic development. Key goals...
- The University of California Irvine received a three-year $800,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences. The award falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support the research project "Dissecting the Phenotypic and Functional Consequences of Sexual Selection on Sperm Competition through a Species-Specific Multigene Family." The grant will fund research from September 2021 through August 2024 to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $371,044 to support research by four master's students at James Madison University (JMU) studying the biology of leafflower moths and their host plants. The students will investigate the genetics, bacterial diversity, and biology of these insects, which have evolved from mutualistic to parasitic relationships with their host plants. The award also funds summer research...
- 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 (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship. The grant supports an investigation into the role of transcriptional plasticity in insect host specialization, focused on two species of pine sawfly. The research aims to identify the genes that allow insects to adapt to changes in their environment, which is important for understanding how organisms survive and adapt...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $251,181 to Youngstown State University to explore the neurological mechanisms underlying reproductive behaviors in biparental burying beetles. The project aims to understand how neurotransmitters like dopamine influence the beetles' ability to exhibit flexible caregiving behavior and coordinate parenting tasks. Through a combination of neurochemical, molecular, and...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $1,324,710 provides funding from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025 to support research understanding how newly evolved genes acquire protein interactions and regulatory mechanisms in Drosophila reproduction. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award to the College of the Holy Cross will explore how three genes essential for Drosophila melanogaster spermatogenesis evolved novel capabilities, including physical...
