This $167,390 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research effort to examine biodiversity dynamics in the Hawaiian Islands. The key goals are to: Integrate rapid assessment technologies at the landscape and island level to forecast changes in insect and spider populations using DNA-based metabarcoding techniques. Measure the velocity and extent of non-native plant invasions using satellite, aerial,...
This $975,393 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project to link broad-scale remote sensing with arthropod DNA metabarcoding across different landscapes in the Hawaiian Islands. The goal is to infer the processes shaping biodiversity and its decline, and how these can be captured remotely across varying scales and degrees of human impact. The researchers will integrate rapid assessment...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $652,022 to the University of Hawaii to conduct collaborative research on biodiversity dynamics in the Hawaiian Islands. The project integrates rapid assessment technologies, including satellite, helicopter, drone, and ground-based monitoring, with arthropod metabarcoding to forecast changes in insect and spider populations. The goal is to infer processes shaping...
This $108,236 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support the Neotoma Paleoecology Database, a high-quality, expert-curated open data resource for paleoecological and paleoenvironmental data. The award will enhance Neotoma's systems to enable higher rates of data additions, streamlined data curation, and improved support for new communities studying biodiversity dynamics driven by environmental change. Key activities include...
This $447,222 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports the development of PhenoBase, a global, standardized plant phenology database. The University of Arizona, the prime awardee, will use machine learning to extract phenological data from plant photographs and digitized herbarium specimens, integrating this with existing plant phenology monitoring data to create the comprehensive open-access PhenoBase. This effort aims...
This $425,200 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Arizona State University from July 2022 through June 2024 towards understanding responses to climate change and invasion vulnerability in drylands of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The research will combine geospatial techniques such as species distribution modeling with a trait-based methodology to assess amphibian species' vulnerability to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,631 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Connecticut (UConn) to conduct research on the behavior and ecological impacts of invasive plant species across the Americas. The 4-year project will investigate how "superinvader" woody plant species can dominate diverse forest environments through experimental studies comparing the growth, survival, and pest interactions of native and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $912,952 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on the diversity, distribution, and resilience of North American plants. The primary objectives are to: 1) Assemble detailed historical and current data on trait diversity and endemism of North American plants to understand the long-term eco-evolutionary drivers of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes in the Argentine ant (Linepithema humile), an invasive species with significant negative impacts on native ecosystems and agriculture. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Empirical testing of the...
Northern Arizona University received a $299,991 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology on September 1, 2021 to evaluate the continuity of data streams recorded at collocated sites across biomes ranging from tundra to subtropics under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The three-year award will support analyzing data continuity between the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and AmeriFlux sites to strengthen...
