This Project Grant award of $270,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for fiscal year 2025. The research will contribute to understanding how insect diets have evolved and shaped speciation over millions of years, including the role of symbiotic bacteria. The fellowship will support the postdoctoral researcher in reconstructing evolutionary diet shifts in seed bugs, identifying associated bacterial symbionts, and training in scientific imaging and computational analysis. Additionally, the postdoctoral researcher will mentor undergraduate and high school students, and disseminate findings to agricultural researchers. This award aligns with the NSF's mission to advance scientific knowledge and address complex biological challenges.
