- This federal Project Grant award of $751,823 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports an interdisciplinary research program on the evolution and functions of mammalian tails. The research team at the University of Michigan will conduct a broad survey of tail morphology in extant and extinct mammals to model how the modularity of tail shape evolved, and how speciation rates and ecological adaptation influenced tail variations. The project also...
- 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 $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...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $635,938.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074).
