- The National Science Foundation awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to study thermoregulatory evolution of hummingbirds using urban heat islands. Over a three-year period from June 2024 through May 2027, the fellow will investigate how urban heat is affecting the evolution of complex thermoregulatory traits and genetic divergence in hummingbirds across four cities located along a latitudinal gradient. The fellow will measure...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) provides $1,066,913 to the University of Wyoming to study how different populations of mountain hummingbirds respond genetically, physiologically, and behaviorally to the environmental challenges of high-elevation living, including temperature extremes and oxygen scarcity. The research will integrate field and laboratory approaches to examine populations across a range of latitudes and elevations,...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $396,938, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028, will support a collaborative research project to investigate the genetic basis of complex floral trait adaptation between bee- and hummingbird-pollinated plant species. The research team, led by the University of South Carolina, will use advanced genomics technologies to identify specific DNA differences that underlie the integrated floral...
- This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Colorado State University (CSU) to investigate the potential role of migratory songbirds as pollinators in North America. The $329,069 award, granted on February 15, 2025, will support a study examining the characteristics and environmental factors associated with songbirds carrying pollen, the plant morphological traits linked to flower-foraging by birds, and the...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $973,030 supports research into the rapid phenotypic evolution of pigmentation genes in South American seed-eating birds (genus Sporophila) through 2025. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award enables detailed study of the chemical, structural, and genetic mechanisms underlying color production and patterning in avian feathers. Researchers from Cornell University will analyze pigment composition, nano- and...
- This $297,323 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The funding supports a collaborative research project to study how habitat structure, specifically the spatial arrangement of plants and resources, impacts avian biodiversity across local to continental scales. Using airborne and satellite Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, the project will explore the...
- This $532,655 multi-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Utah State University (USU) to deepen the understanding of how birds respond to their environmental surroundings. The project aims to: 1) characterize the spatial scales at which hundreds of North American bird species respond to various environmental factors; 2) test hypotheses about the mechanisms generating these scale-dependent...
- This $501,592 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Sacramento to study the genetic and environmental factors influencing nectar variation in the Aquilegia genus of plants. The goal is to identify genes controlling variation in nectar volume, composition and metabolites between closely related Aquilegia species adapted to different pollinators like hummingbirds and hawk moths. Researchers will analyze nectar characteristics of four Aquilegia species...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $270,000.00 in funding to support a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) focused on "Testing a Role for Interspecific Interactions in Signal Evolution, Speciation, and Sympatry in Birds". The fellowship will contribute to advancing scientific understanding of how plumage coloration in tropical tanager birds enables species coexistence and formation. Key...
