- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $496,049 to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography to conduct collaborative research on how rapidly changing ocean conditions are impacting the world's most abundant vertebrates - lanternfishes and bristlemouths. The research aims to investigate the adaptation, population changes, diet shifts, and carbon storage contributions...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify the temporal patterns and drivers of fish-mediated ecosystem functions, such as biomass production, nutrient cycling, and piscivory, across six European Large Marine Ecosystems over a 40-year period. The $393,925 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will integrate fish monitoring data, bioenergetics modeling, and statistical inference to map the spatiotemporal...
- This $891,697 project grant, awarded on August 15, 2024 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program, will fund a collaborative research study on pressure adaptation and convergent evolution in deep-sea fishes. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize genome evolution patterns in 100 species of perciform fishes across a 0-8,000 meter depth range, 2) measure structural changes in biomolecules involved in metabolism, cell structure,...
- This federal Project Grant award of $432,357 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand how fishes have adapted to high-pressure environments in the deep ocean. The research aims to: Characterize patterns of genome evolution across 100 species of perciform fishes found at depths ranging from 0-8,000 meters. Measure structural changes in key biomolecules involved in metabolism, cell movement, and stress responses across...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000 from June 15, 2023 to May 31, 2026 supports an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to study the evolution and development of retinal specializations in fish, which can help understand how the environment and development shape the biology and evolution of the eye. The key products of this project include: 1) evolutionary genomics and...
- This Project Grant award of $130,222 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project titled "The Albatross Re-Collection Project for a Century of Genomic Change in the Tropics." The project aims to compare historical and modern fish species, focusing on the blue sprat, to understand how they have adapted to challenges such as fishing and habitat loss over the past century. Key activities include assembling...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, provides $240,000 in funding from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The fellowship will investigate how interactions among individual coral reef fishes drive ecosystem-scale function in coral reef environments. The research will integrate field and laboratory studies to uncover the relationship between individual behavioral...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $468,934 to the University of Massachusetts Boston from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The funding will support research into collective timing decisions in schooling fish, with a focus on how leadership emerges and consensus is reached within groups. Specifically, the award will develop two tracking systems to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the "Collaborative Research: The Albatross Re-Collection Project for a Century of Genomic Change in the Tropics." The $343,638 award, effective July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027, will enable researchers at Rutgers, The State University to compare historical and modern fish samples from the Philippines. The key objectives are to: 1) assemble and annotate high-quality...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $314,306 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. This 2-year grant, effective October 1, 2024, will support a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate the oceanographic and ecological factors affecting the abundance and distribution of mesopelagic organisms in the California Current ecosystem. The research aims to improve understanding of how...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $1,274,370 to support collaborative research on how the world's most abundant vertebrates, lanternfishes and bristlemouths, are adapting to rapidly changing ocean conditions. The research will investigate the impacts on these crucial links in the marine food web, including changes to their populations, diets, and contribution to carbon storage in the deep ocean. The project will create fundamental knowledge, genomic and phylogenetic resources, and educational training, while sharing findings through the Berkeley Center for Ocean Futures and K-12 outreach. All specimens and data will be catalogued in university collections for use by the global scientific community. The award period is from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
