Project Grant 2520925
- This $280,634 federal Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research at the University of Florida on how individual variation in species traits can influence ecosystem stability. The project aims to develop a theoretical framework for studying "trait-shift induced interaction modification" and its effects on ecological dynamics. Researchers will integrate mathematical modeling and empirical analysis to...
- This $311,397 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to integrate mathematical models and microcosm experiments to understand the effects of disturbances, such as fire, drought, and flooding, on community interactions in biological systems. The key objectives of the 3-year project (Aug 2024 - Jul 2027) are to: 1) Determine the differential impacts of pulse (short-term) versus press (long-term)...
- This two-year, $276,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds statistical modeling and simulation research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grantee will develop a unified theoretical, empirical and computational framework to predict how ecological and evolutionary dynamics propagate in response to perturbations across scales over time. Using agent-based simulations of random and experimentally perturbed eco-evolutionary systems, the grantee will characterize...
- This five-year, $3 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the University of Colorado Boulder, Cornell University, Florida Atlantic University, and the University of New Mexico to develop methods for understanding how the functioning and dynamics of complex ecological interaction networks emerge and respond to environmental change. The researchers will measure multivalent interactions among fish and other...
- This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to investigate how the timing of seasonal life cycles influences interactions among multiple species, especially indirect effects involving shared predators or resources. The project will integrate experiments in amphibian pond communities with theoretical models to determine how variation in the sequence and spacing of community phenologies is linked to the...
- This $521,762 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research aimed at deciphering the metabolic, functional, and taxonomic interactions over the life cycle of a phytoplankton bloom in a dynamic coastal ecosystem. The project will analyze a unique set of samples and data collected in 2021-2022 using genomic methods to examine biomolecules associated with bloom initiation, maintenance, and decline. Key outcomes...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research to investigate how species' functional traits influence population and community synchrony across environmental gradients. The $346,098 grant, awarded on September 15, 2024, will fund research combining long-term plant composition data with species trait data to assess how trait variation and trait-by-environment interactions regulate synchrony...
- 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 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to study the dynamics of the marsh-forest ecotone in the Chesapeake Bay region. The key objectives are to: Employ remote sensing techniques to track the migration rates of the leading and lagging edges of the marsh-forest ecotone. Use vegetation monitoring to explore how plant communities respond to varying migration...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $738,632 to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation to investigate how competition between species influences the temporal stability of ecosystems. The 3-year project will use fast-growing protist organisms in controlled laboratory experiments to test how competitive interactions and species arrival order affect the ability of ecological communities and interconnected systems to maintain consistent functions over time. The research will advance scientific understanding of ecosystem stability, while also providing educational opportunities for undergraduate students, high school students, and K-12 teachers through coursework, lab-based research, and public outreach activities. The project will train a postdoctoral researcher, graduate student, and multiple undergraduates as part of the research efforts.
