This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $137,159 to support collaborative research investigating Pleistocene carnivore ecology and modern wolf populations. The University of California, Berkeley will lead efforts to study dire wolf and coyote dietary patterns at the McKittick asphalt seep and Rancho La Brea tar pits fossil sites to determine food web relationships and compare...
This $1,002,220 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to examine how climate variability affects the behavior and interactions of four species of large carnivores in Botswana, Africa. The goal is to better understand the mechanisms by which climate change modifies predation and competition among these top predators. The research will integrate behavioral observations, high-resolution GPS and accelerometer...
This $714,816 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the University of Washington from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The research aims to better understand how environmental health disparities in urban areas impact the trophic and disease dynamics of carnivore populations. Specifically, the project will examine links between toxicant exposure, altered diets, and disease risk for urban carnivores in...
This three-year, $346,278 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research investigating Pleistocene carnivore ecology using fossil records from the McKittick asphalt seep and Rancho La Brea tar pits lagerstatte sites. The researchers will examine dietary patterns in dire wolves and coyotes through ecomorphology, tooth wear analysis, stable isotope analysis, and geochronology to determine food...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $511,998 to the University of California, Santa Cruz to investigate the effects of rapid population decline and past conservation management on brown bear (Ursus arctos) populations in the lower 48 states. The key products and services to be delivered through this 5-year project include: Developing new genetic tools to rapidly sequence and identify individual brown bears using...
This $112,243 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research at the University of California - Merced and the University of Alaska Fairbanks to reconstruct the interactions of ancient marine communities over time. The research aims to uncover how marine ecosystems, particularly large-bodied filter-feeding baleen whales and their apex predators, have responded to past climate...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology provides $378,135 to fund research linking social-environmental health to the trophic and disease dynamics of urban carnivores. The grant supports a three-year collaborative research project ending September 2025 between the University of California, Berkeley and the State of California. The research aims to better understand how environmental health disparities in cities similarly affect urban carnivore...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the complex factors that influence animal responses to climate change. The $240,000 award, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund a research and training plan with two key objectives: 1) Synthesize available data on climate-induced range shifts across mammal species to build predictive...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award in the amount of $270,000 will fund a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship starting on September 1, 2025. The research will investigate how urbanization influences the diet, physiology, and behavior of raccoons across different neighborhoods in the San Francisco Bay Area. By examining how individual animals respond to environmental heterogeneity within cities, the research will provide new insights...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $259,330 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Pittsburgh. This 1-year grant, awarded on May 1, 2024, will support research on "The Datafied Animal: Biologging, Machine Learning and Wildlife Conservation." The project will analyze the ethical, social, and practical implications of using new technologies like miniaturized animal tags, GPS-telemetry, and machine learning...
