- This Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program. The grant, awarded on September 15, 2025, totals $611,195.00 and aims to investigate how neuronal circuits in the brain influence mating behaviors and contribute to the formation of new species (speciation) in upland chorus frogs. The research project, conducted by the University of Utah, will explore the relationship between auditory neural circuits and...
- This $1,297,896 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will support research by Texas A&M University to investigate the evolutionary and neurogenomic mechanisms underlying species discrimination and behavioral isolation in North American stream fishes. The project will integrate genomic, transcriptomic, and functional approaches to connect patterns of behavioral, neural, and genomic variation within species to the larger processes of...
- The University of Florida was awarded a three-year, $744,637 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund research from October 2021 through September 2024 on "Allopolyploidization, Niche Evolution, and Systematics of Central African Night Frogs." As described under CFDA 47.074, the Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen the...
- This $285,014 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund research to better understand the evolutionary drivers behind the diverse phenotypes (appearances) observed in a species of poison frog, Dendrobates tinctorius. The research aims to identify the genetic factors responsible for these phenotypic differences and characterize the demographic structure of D. tinctorius populations to explore the interplay between...
- This $880,393 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill examining the role of behavior in species range expansion. Specifically, the research will evaluate how dispersal-promoting behaviors and hybridization may enable a grassland-adapted spadefoot toad species to expand its range into desert habitats in the southwestern U.S....
- This $276,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and training from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024. The fellowship recipient will conduct integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments and phenotypes in evolutionary biology. Specifically, the fellow will study mechanisms connecting short-term plastic behavioral responses to long-term evolutionary change. Using a pupfish system with specialist and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $494,261 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to conduct research on frog skin evolution and adaptations. The project aims to: 1) quantify how frog skin has evolved over the past 200 million years in response to abiotic and biotic factors, 2) experimentally test the ability of anuran skin to decouple respiration and water loss, and 3) incorporate...
- This $876,730 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program will support a research project at Ball State University titled "From Genetic Management to Genetic Rescue: Quantifying Outbreeding Depression Thresholds in Threatened Chiricahua Leopard Frogs (Lithobates chiricahuensis)". The project aims to study the risk of outbreeding depression in the threatened Chiricahua leopard frog and identify the optimal genetic...
- This $355,123 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to genetically modify the immune system of the African clawed frog (Xenopus tropicalis) to improve its resistance to the deadly chytrid fungus. The goal is to identify how altering the frog's major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes affects its ability to fight off this pathogen and survive infection. The project includes a sub-award to the University...
- This Project Grant award of $428,271 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research to investigate the behavioral and neuromolecular mechanisms underlying aggression biases in cichlid fish species. The primary awardee, the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO), will lead a multidisciplinary team to conduct social learning experiments, genetic analysis, neural activity mapping, and brain gene expression analyses on two...
