This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $400,267 to the University of Connecticut to conduct research on the intergenerational effects of predation risk and resource identity on rocky shore ecosystems. The research aims to examine how parental exposure to predation risk under different resource conditions influences offspring fitness and how these risk-induced intergenerational effects scale up to impact population dynamics,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) focuses on understanding how changing environmental conditions, particularly rising ocean temperatures, will impact marine ecosystems and the availability of marine resources. The $738,152 award, effective June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2030, supports an integrated approach that combines physiological assays, community-level experiments, and numerical modeling to forecast the effects of temperature on...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify the temporal patterns and drivers of fish-mediated ecosystem functions, such as biomass production, nutrient cycling, and piscivory, across six European Large Marine Ecosystems over a 40-year period. The $393,925 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will integrate fish monitoring data, bioenergetics modeling, and statistical inference to map the spatiotemporal...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $378,315 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for research activities under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The two-year award, beginning February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2024, will support research to detect signatures of multigenerational plasticity in a marine forage fish. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $315,954 to Portland State University to conduct research on the effects of microbial cell surface properties on predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems. The 3-year project aims to quantify the surface characteristics of major marine microbial groups and assess how these properties influence feeding selectivity and fate of particles by suspension-feeding organisms like...
This $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (CFDA 47.074) Biological Sciences program supports the development of a new framework called the Integrated Risk-Effects Framework (IREF) to understand the ecological relevance of predation risk in free-living systems. The project aims to predict how much a prey species will use defensive traits, including behaviors, and how that response may affect the prey's fitness. The research seeks to innovate a graphical approach...
This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is awarded to the University of Oregon for a 3-year collaborative research project to investigate the effects of microbial cell surface properties on predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems. The total funding amount is $622,198, with the award period running from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The research examines how the surface characteristics of marine microorganisms influence...
The University of Vermont & State Agricultural College was awarded a $331,979 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant to conduct research on the ecological genomics of adaptation in a rocky shore predator-prey interaction. The research project aims to: 1) determine the level of migration and gene flow among populations of a low dispersing marine snail species, 2) identify genomic patterns of selection using environmental data and detailed...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $732,650 to the University of Oregon to conduct research on tentaculate ambush predators (TAPs) - a group of gelatinous marine organisms that use tentacles to capture prey. The 3-year project will use cutting-edge techniques like underwater cameras, microscopy, and machine learning to quantify TAP predation strategies and their impacts on marine food webs. Key objectives include...
