Project Grant 2516819
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program will support a collaborative research project on the rapid evolution and species coexistence in an orchard fly system. The $702,401 award to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, will fund research to measure how rapid evolution of orchard flies in response to competition determines their...
- This $298,375 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program supports a collaborative research project focused on understanding how populations evolve in complex, changing environments. The primary awardee, Virginia Tech, will conduct both experimental and theoretical work to investigate the relationships between an individual's environmental preferences, developmental processes, and patterns of phenotypic plasticity. The researchers aim to develop a...
- This $360,044 award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports a collaborative research project at Indiana University, Bloomington. The project aims to uncover fundamental principles of evolution by studying the relationship between an individual's choice of environment and the developmental processes that are shaped by that environment, using fruit flies as a model organism. The research will integrate theory and experiments across...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $502,161 to Appalachian State University to investigate the impacts of evolutionary novelty on generalist species. Specifically, the award will fund research examining toxin tolerance in Drosophila tripunctata fruit flies that use diverse mushrooms and fruits as hosts. The university will test hypotheses about how toxin tolerance...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $408,172 project grant to President and Trustees of Williams College under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The grant supports research titled "BEE: The Evolution of Fluctuation-Dependent Species Coexistence" from July 1, 2021 to November 30, 2022. The project aims to advance understanding of major problems in biology by investigating how fluctuations impact species coexistence. Regents of the University of...
- 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...
- This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), totaling $207,000, will fund research into the implications of hybridization on macroevolutionary and contemporary timescales in biology. The award falls under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major issues. The grantee, located in Roosevelt, Utah,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Cornell University a $760,528 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research on the regulatory basis of repeated color pattern evolution in butterflies. The research aims to address fundamental questions about the structure, function, and evolution of cis-regulatory elements, which play an essential role in phenotypic evolution by regulating gene expression patterns during development....
- This two-year, $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund postdoctoral research exploring the effects of rapid evolution on alternative community states at multiple spatial scales. The fellow, Lucas Nell, will conduct laboratory experiments and develop mathematical models to study how trait evolution influences the composition of alternative microbial community states in monkeyflower nectar and their prevalence across a...
- The Trustees Of The University Of Pennsylvania received a $875,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology. The grant funds research on "The Evolutionary Significance of Genetic Pleiotropy in Species Interactions" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The research aims to advance understanding of major problems in biological sciences, as outlined in the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) of the National Science...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $803,697 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University to conduct collaborative research on rapid evolution and species coexistence in an orchard fly system. The project aims to investigate how competition and rapid evolution among orchard fly species determine their population dynamics, competitive outcomes, and ability to coexist. The research will integrate theory and field experiments in the Northeastern United States to address questions on the role of rapid evolution in shaping competition and species coexistence, the eco-evolutionary mechanisms underlying competition-induced evolution, and how competitor richness shapes these eco-evolutionary dynamics. The project will train a postdoctoral scientist, graduate and undergraduate students, and involve outreach efforts to the local community, a 4-year college, high school students, and the public. The award has a start date of September 1, 2025 and an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2029.
