Project Grant 2508050
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the impacts of climate change on insect phenotypes, populations, and communities. The research aims to: 1) build a model to estimate how insect traits like body size and developmental timing respond to temperature variation, 2) quantify how these phenotypic changes affect population dynamics, and 3) determine how...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) that will investigate plant-butterfly dynamics across changing landscapes. The research project will address how variation in habitat quality affects native plant-butterfly networks, including several butterfly species known to migrate between the western United States and Mexico. The research...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Award provides a $270,000 Postdoctoral Fellowship from FY 2025 to 2028 to support research and training that will contribute to biology in innovative ways. The research will address how lizards respond to temperature and humidity across environments and as a function of their physical characteristics, with a goal of better understanding organismal responses to changing environments. The Fellowship includes...
- The National Science Foundation awarded $414,000 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The fellowship funding will support integrative research investigating the intersection of genomes, environments, and phenotypes in elevational migrant bird species across the Andes and Himalayas. The fellow will generate valuable museum specimens including frozen tissues and genomic,...
- This National Science Foundation award provides $276,000 to fund a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2025. The fellowship will support research and training on how an insect's overwintering life stage impacts its vulnerability to energy depletion caused by warming winters. The fellow, based in Stockholm, Sweden, will measure energy use rates in nine butterfly species that overwinter as adults, larvae, or pupae. Laboratory experiments will then link...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $414,000 Project Grant to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The Fellowship will fund integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments, and phenotypes. Specifically, the Fellow will monitor evolution in heat tolerance plasticity of anole lizards on islands in Panama that have...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology under CFDA 47.074 (Biological Sciences) will support a 3-year research project investigating how temperature influences the evolution of mating signal complexity in jumping spiders across North America. The $240,000 award will fund the fellow's research and training, which will integrate physiological experiments, behavioral trials, and evolutionary analyses to examine how temperature impacts the production and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship will fund a research and training plan to study how climate change-driven increases in temperature affect the bioturbation activities of chironomid larvae and the resulting impacts on nutrient cycling and bacterial activity in freshwater ecosystems, particularly in urban streams in Puerto Rico....
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $138,000 funds a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024. The fellowship supports integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). Specifically, the fellow will conduct experiments and genomic sequencing to determine how temperature affects interactions between the tree hole...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $240,000 in funding from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the "escalator to extinction" phenomenon in tropical mountain ecosystems. The research aims to establish the mechanistic drivers behind shifts in species distributions and community changes in response to climate change in biodiverse tropical...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.074) provides $270,000 in funding from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The fellowship will integrate the effects of temperature and moisture on the thermal physiology and population viability of tropical and temperate butterfly species across different life stages. The research aims to address gaps in existing models of species vulnerability to environmental change by incorporating the effects of the hygric (moisture) environment, which plays a key role in heat balance. The fellow will mentor undergraduate and high school students as part of the project, contributing to broader scientific training and outreach goals of the NSF Biological Sciences program.
