- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $487,916 to The Trustees of Smith College to conduct research on how the Baltimore checkerspot butterfly responds to changes in climate and novel host plant species. The key objectives are to: 1) investigate how host shifts affect the butterfly's exposure and tolerance to thermal stress and drought, 2) determine if host shifts are driven by synchronization between the butterfly and its host...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $160,000 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Chicago. The grant, awarded on September 1, 2025, supports collaborative research to develop interpretable machine learning algorithms that can discover mathematical models directly from sparse and noisy ecological data. The goal is to create accurate models to predict how and when insect-killing viruses will protect forests from defoliating...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $371,044 to support research by four master's students at James Madison University (JMU) studying the biology of leafflower moths and their host plants. The students will investigate the genetics, bacterial diversity, and biology of these insects, which have evolved from mutualistic to parasitic relationships with their host plants. The award also funds summer research...
- This Project Grant award for $249,947.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports the development, testing, and implementation of non-lethal methods to monitor pollinator populations in managed forests using acoustic and camera-based artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The primary goal is to create easy-to-use software that can track pollinator activity patterns, providing valuable insights to inform evidence-based forest management practices...
- This Project Grant award of $763,751 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research by Tufts University to investigate the speciation process and barriers to gene exchange in the European corn borer moth. The key research objectives are to: 1) explore the history of species spread and potential co-occurrence of distinct barriers through genome resequencing, 2) determine if prezygotic isolation traits contribute to postzygotic isolation...
- 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 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $197,825 to the University of South Carolina, College of Charleston, and Dalton State College to digitize and disseminate important historical and modern insect specimen collections from the southeastern United States.

- This $874,361 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to the University of Oregon. The research team will investigate how pollinator communities, such as bees and other insects, have changed over the past 50 years in California. By revisiting historical data on plant-pollinator interactions, the researchers aim to understand which pollinator species are most at risk due to long-term environmental changes. The...
