- This $800,062 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Washington to examine the role of multifunctionality in the evolution of cranial morphological diversity in bats. The grant funds a three-year collaborative research project beginning August 2022 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research team will generate datasets of internal and external skull morphology from micro-computed tomography imaging of bat skulls. They will develop...
- This $484,370 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research into the challenges of living small for diminutive mammals. The Field Museum of Natural History will leverage the taxonomic diversity of shrews, moles, hedgehogs, and solenodons to quantify selective pressures on vertebral bone strength and stiffness at small sizes. Researchers will use 3D imaging, computer modeling, and physical testing to assess how lumbar spines have...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $202,138 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The grant funds a collaborative research project to examine the evolution of North American small mammal communities in response to landscape changes over the past 30 to 5 million years. The researchers will collect fossils and sediment samples from the U.S. Great Plains and Northwest to study how changes in habitat...
- This $419,234 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to study the effects of climate change on mammalian functional diversity over long timescales. Key objectives include: Analyzing changes in mammal functional diversity, floral composition, and abiotic factors like temperature before, during, and after the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) climate event in the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming. This will elucidate the...
- This $200,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to investigate long-term ecological and evolutionary responses of small mammals to environmental change across western North America and East Africa over the past 23 million years. The project, led by researchers at the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (Stony Brook University), aims to generate and analyze multi-proxy data from...

The grant supports research entitled "INTBIO: Disentangling the Genetic, Biomechanical, and Deep-Time Factors Underlying Mammalian Skeletal Diversity." The University will conduct research into the genetic and evolutionary factors that have...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $549,445 Project Grant to Western Washington University to support research on the evolution of circumorbital morphology in hominids. The project, titled "RUI: The Evolution of Circumorbital Morphology in Hominids - Investigating Variation in the Primate Skeleton", advances the understanding of modern human biology by providing the most detailed picture to date of extant primate cranial...
- This $1,017,872 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support an interdisciplinary research program at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to study the evolution and functional diversity of mammalian tails. The research will investigate how the modularity of tail shape evolved, model the evolution of tail morphology, and explore how different bone-tendon-muscle connections determine tail function. This program...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $961,754 to Rice University from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2028. The grant supports research investigating modularity in the diversification of the acanthomorph fish skull through three-dimensional geometric morphometrics analysis of micro-computed tomography scan data from over 1,000 fish species. Key products include quantifying the tempo and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $279,943 Project Grant to the University of Oregon to conduct collaborative research on the evolution of North American small mammal communities in response to landscape changes from the Oligocene to Miocene epochs (30 to 5 million years ago). The project aims to understand the relationship between vegetation and mammalian communities, with a focus on how small mammals respond to habitat changes over time. The research will integrate fieldwork to...
