This Project Grant award of $300,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities Program (CFDA 47.083) supports research by the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to investigate the relationship between environmental variation and the evolution of cooperative social groups in Australian birds. The project will leverage citizen science data and field experiments to understand how factors like temperature, rainfall, and land use impact group size...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $265,065 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. The project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: HOW DO GALL-FORMING INSECTS ESCAPE DIVERSE AND EVOLVING CLADES OF PARASITIC WASPS - AND HOW DO PARASITES CATCH UP?", will study the diversity and evolutionary histories of oak gall wasps and their parasitic wasp predators. The research will document the parasitic wasps that...
This Project Grant award of $844,511.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The project investigates the ecological and evolutionary dynamics between the pea aphid and its parasitoid wasp, Aphidius ervi. The research aims to understand how the rapid evolution of pest resistance to natural predators affects the stability and sustainability of agricultural systems. The project will use field experiments, lab studies, and...
This federal Project Grant award of $280,113 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research to study how gall-forming insects evade parasitic wasps and how the parasites adapt to their hosts. The research team from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton, including a postdoctoral scholar, three graduate students, and several undergraduates, will document the parasitic wasps that attack hundreds of oak gall insect...
This $535,370 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at Syracuse University to study the effects of warming temperatures and biotic interactions on aphid population dynamics. The research aims to improve understanding of factors affecting insect herbivore abundance under current and future climate scenarios. Key aspects of the project include: Conducting field experiments in a Rocky Mountain...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $607,076 in funding to the Regents of the University of Michigan from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research to advance understanding of social partner choice and its consequences in social animals. Researchers will analyze partner choice decisions in paper wasp species as they form...
This $687,357 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to study repeated evolution in a diverse group of alpine beetles. The researchers will explore whether natural selection has acted on the same molecular pathways as species adapted to alpine environments during past climate cycles. Comparative genomic and stress tolerance experiments will test for evidence of repeated evolution and identify the genetic mechanisms...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to identify the mechanisms linking social environment to physiological plasticity in an incipiently social orchid bee. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to advance biological knowledge and understanding of major issues. Over the September 2021 to August 2023 period of performance, the grantee will conduct research at Davis, California to explore how social interactions...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $396,938, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028, will support a collaborative research project to investigate the genetic basis of complex floral trait adaptation between bee- and hummingbird-pollinated plant species. The research team, led by the University of South Carolina, will use advanced genomics technologies to identify specific DNA differences that underlie the integrated floral...
