This three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $770,868 will support research from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025 examining how seasonal migration influences genetic migration in boreal forest bird species. Funded through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of Michigan will investigate the relationship between seasonal long-distance migration and genetic differentiation using genomic tools and migration tracking tags across 32 co-distributed bird species....
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $900,000 supports research at Texas A&M University from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2026 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to characterize the role of vitamin A in photoperiodic responses and seasonal adaptations using monarch butterflies as a model system. Specifically, the researchers will test hypotheses regarding whether retinal functions in photoperiod regulation via production of a deep brain...
This $199,049 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) supports research to understand how visits by migratory animals like birds, bats, and insects impact plants at stopover sites during their annual migrations. The primary objectives are to use computer modeling to examine how these migratory animals, through pollination, seed dispersal, and other ecological interactions, affect the growth and spread of...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $240,000 provides funding from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026 to investigate the genetic and ecological factors influencing parasite resistance in monarch butterflies. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences. Specifically, the grantee will conduct research at the University of Nevada, Reno to elucidate the direct and indirect pathways through which...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology provides $199,926 to the University of South Carolina from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The funding supports research titled "EAGER: Testing for Genes Associated with Migratory Behavior in a Peripatetic Species" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The goal of the research is to test for genes associated with migratory behavior using a species known to travel...
This $747,521 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems supports collaborative research titled "The Intersection Between Cell Fate Decisions and Phenotypic Diversification in a Rapidly Radiating Butterfly Lineage." The grant funds research through July 2025 aimed at increasing scientific knowledge and understanding of major biological problems as part of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The Smithsonian Institution Office...
This $1,137,520 National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant awarded to Clemson University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to conduct integrative functional and quantitative genomics research on butterfly wing color and patterning. The work will identify the genetic architecture of a polygenic and polymorphic phenotype found in male butterflies, study the evolutionary processes underlying its adaptive gain, and test hypotheses about how this phenotype is driving...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $848,286 to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to develop integrated movement models (IMMs) that leverage big data streams and unravel global-scale patterns in migration ecology. The goal is to improve understanding of how animals move across landscapes and what factors impact their movements, particularly for migratory species. The research will formally integrate...
This Project Grant award of $645,270.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program aims to address research and implementation challenges in full annual cycle conservation of migratory birds in the Appalachian Mountains region. The project will utilize big data sources and machine learning to map stopover habitat use and quantify forest structure, and employ a translational ecology approach to collaborate with science users and bridge the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $827,019 to the University of Massachusetts to develop models and algorithms for inferring bird population movements from citizen science data. Leveraging billions of bird observations from the eBird citizen science project, the awardee will create computational tools to simulate migratory routes and produce movement...
