- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant of $240,000 supports a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the impact of translation efficiency on immune response variation and evolution. The fellow will employ experimental and mathematical modeling approaches using the red flour beetle system to assess how selective translation of immune-related transcripts influences immune specificity, infection trajectories, and local...
- This $687,357 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to study repeated evolution in a diverse group of alpine beetles. The researchers will explore whether natural selection has acted on the same molecular pathways as species adapted to alpine environments during past climate cycles. Comparative genomic and stress tolerance experiments will test for evidence of repeated evolution and identify the genetic mechanisms...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Inference of the Repeated Evolution of Prothoracic Defensive Glands in the Tenebrionidae (Coleoptera)." The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund research from January 2022 through December 2023. The goal of this research is to advance scientific understanding of the evolution of defensive glands in darkling beetles through analysis of their...
- This five-year, $1,095,443 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund experimental research testing long-standing theories in evolution and natural selection. Principal investigator Auburn University will establish a research program to experimentally manipulate additive genetic variance for fitness in replicate beetle populations, quantifying the relationship between this variance and the rate of change in mean population fitness....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,300,000 project grant to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. from March 1, 2024 to February 29, 2028 under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The purpose of this grant is to study how immune defense differs among closely related Drosophila species and to determine the genetic basis for these differences. The research aims to improve understanding of how species evolve to fight infections, which has implications...
- This $502,986 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers will fund research at Austin Peay State University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to identify genes in mothers of the burying beetle Nicrophorus orbicollis that cause variation in offspring traits linked to fitness. The research aims to study indirect genetic effects, known as social influences, which are theorized to play important roles in phenotypic evolution...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025. The $270,000 award will fund research and training that aims to enhance understanding of how behavior, brain gene expression, and biological function integrate across levels of organization in a polyphenic insect with biparental care, the bull-headed dung beetle (Onthophagus taurus). The project will investigate...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship. The grant supports an investigation into the role of transcriptional plasticity in insect host specialization, focused on two species of pine sawfly. The research aims to identify the genes that allow insects to adapt to changes in their environment, which is important for understanding how organisms survive and adapt...
- This federal Project Grant award of $395,000 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) will fund research on the phenotypic and adaptive consequences of chromosomal rearrangements in three insect systems: Timema stick insects, Callosobruchus maculatus seed beetles, and Lycaeides butterflies. The research aims to investigate how common different types of structural variants, such as deletions,...
- This $900,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant will support research to investigate the mechanistic roles of hyper-divergent regions in gene-by-environment interactions and their impact on adaptation. The project will use cutting-edge genomics, genetic crosses, and high-throughput experiments with nematode species to uncover molecular details on how evolution...
