- This $285,014 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund research to better understand the evolutionary drivers behind the diverse phenotypes (appearances) observed in a species of poison frog, Dendrobates tinctorius. The research aims to identify the genetic factors responsible for these phenotypic differences and characterize the demographic structure of D. tinctorius populations to explore the interplay between...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $785,315 from December 15, 2023 to November 30, 2027 to the University of Houston System. The project aims to develop a four-dimensional genotype-phenotype map of skin coloration in three species of poison frogs, leveraging genomics and developmental biology techniques. The research will identify genes controlling color...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $494,261 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to conduct research on frog skin evolution and adaptations. The project aims to: 1) quantify how frog skin has evolved over the past 200 million years in response to abiotic and biotic factors, 2) experimentally test the ability of anuran skin to decouple respiration and water loss, and 3) incorporate...
- This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) amounting to $138,000 will fund research characterizing the relationship between poison frogs and their tropical ant prey in the Biological Sciences program. The goal of the Biological Sciences program under the NSF's Division of Biological Infrastructure is to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. This...
- 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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $502,161 to Appalachian State University to investigate the impacts of evolutionary novelty on generalist species. Specifically, the award will fund research examining toxin tolerance in Drosophila tripunctata fruit flies that use diverse mushrooms and fruits as hosts. The university will test hypotheses about how toxin tolerance...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,419,596 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). The grant aims to identify the genetic basis of phenotypic plasticity - the ability of organisms to change their physical traits in response to environmental changes. Specifically, the research will study genetic variation underlying the spectacular carnivore larval morph in Mexican spadefoot toads, which is...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program is supporting research to investigate the origin and development of novel traits, specifically focused on the stinging apparatus of cnidarians (e.g., corals, jellyfish). The $230,000.00 award to Cornell University, which began on Mar 15, 2025 and is set to conclude by Feb 28, 2030, aims to characterize the protein-protein interactions necessary for the construction of the...
- This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $207,000 supports research on color polymorphism in nature as a model for predicting phenotypic evolution. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award will allow the grantee at San Francisco State University to investigate color variation in organisms and its implications for evolution from July 2021 through June 2024. The overarching goal of the Biological Sciences program is to advance the field and...
- This $932,200 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) will support collaborative research at Florida State University to investigate the neurobiology and behavior underlying speciation in upland chorus frogs.
