This $463,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research to study the origin and evolution of vertebrate diversity on the Marajo Island in the Amazon rainforest. The key activities include: Field collections of small vertebrates (amphibians, lizards, mammals) at four sites on Marajo Island Acquisition of genomic data from the collected samples and historical specimens from the Amazon basin Phylogenetic and population...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $699,760 Project Grant to The Ohio State University to conduct collaborative research on elucidating the multi-dimensionality and scaling of avian diversity-vegetation relationships. The project will study the impacts of habitat structure, including both vertical and horizontal heterogeneity, on biodiversity using airborne and satellite-based LiDAR sensors. It aims to identify traits that mediate the associations...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences project grant, awarded under CFDA program 47.074, provides $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the rules governing species formation and evolution in island bird radiations. The research aims to investigate the genetic underpinnings of plumage pattern variation and the conditions necessary for successful secondary sympatry in the Fiji whistler bird species. The research will...
