This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $272,547 to Arkansas State University to conduct research on the ecological and evolutionary drivers of snail-symbiont interactions. The project aims to uncover how environmental conditions shape the distribution and genetic diversity of freshwater invertebrate hosts and their parasites. Through field studies, outdoor experiments, and laboratory work, the research will explore how...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $277,923 to the Regents of the University of Idaho to conduct research on the chemical ecology and community dynamics of land snails in the Peruvian Andes. The 3-year project aims to uncover how chemical interactions mediated by snail mucus influence species interactions and community assembly in this biodiversity hotspot. Key activities include: Identifying and quantifying mucus...
The University of Vermont & State Agricultural College was awarded a $331,979 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant to conduct research on the ecological genomics of adaptation in a rocky shore predator-prey interaction. The research project aims to: 1) determine the level of migration and gene flow among populations of a low dispersing marine snail species, 2) identify genomic patterns of selection using environmental data and detailed...
This $128,646 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Occidental College investigating the ecological role of secondary metabolites produced by mudflat sea slugs in estuarine ecosystems. The three-year award, made under the Biological Sciences program of the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, will characterize novel polyketide compounds synthesized by the common mudflat mollusc genus Alderia. Researchers will test the hypothesis that these compounds function as...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $268,647 project grant to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The award, effective October 1, 2024 through July 31, 2026, will support collaborative research to discover the integrated genomic and physiological mechanisms that enable some species of killifish to exhibit extreme phenotypic plasticity and thrive in highly variable environments. The project will...
This $521,796 National Science Foundation project grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at San Diego State University Foundation from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The research will investigate how changing ocean conditions like ocean acidification and nutrient pollution affect the growth and survival of eelgrass, a foundational species that provides valuable ecosystem services. Researchers will examine how these stressors interact with local...
