This Project Grant award of $492,116 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support research conducted by the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) to reconstruct a nearly complete, time-calibrated phylogeny (evolutionary tree) of parrots. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Generating new genomic resources, such as five chromosome-level reference genomes and genomic-scale markers for over 400 previously...
This $270,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship to conduct research on the evolutionary history and genetic basis of plumage coloration in tropical tanager birds. The research aims to understand the role of interspecific interactions in signal trait evolution, species formation, and sympatric coexistence. Key activities include: 1) Using a population genomics approach to assess...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program grant provides $270,000 to fund a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship from September 2026 to August 2029. The fellow will use the introduced parrot populations in Southern California as a natural experiment to study how rapidly bird populations can adapt to new urban environments. The research will quantify the physical, behavioral, and genetic changes in these parrot species as they establish themselves...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on comparative evolutionary genomics and population genomics of long-distance bird migration. The research aims to identify genome regions involved in the adaptation for extreme migratory strategies, and assess the influence of long-distance migration on genetic...
This Project Grant award of $130,222 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project titled "The Albatross Re-Collection Project for a Century of Genomic Change in the Tropics." The project aims to compare historical and modern fish species, focusing on the blue sprat, to understand how they have adapted to challenges such as fishing and habitat loss over the past century. Key activities include assembling...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 supports a postdoctoral research fellowship from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028. The project aims to integrate historical museum collections and avian conservation genomics to understand how bird species in California have responded to past environmental changes and forecast their vulnerability to future climate change. The research will develop a framework for incorporating...
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 $249,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports a phylogenetic investigation into the genetic basis of life history trait variation across eucalyptus trees. The project aims to leverage the diversity of wild eucalyptus species to gain insights into the genetic architecture underlying traits like overall size, growth, and reproduction in these economically important plants. The research will develop and...
