- This $1,137,520 National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant awarded to Clemson University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to conduct integrative functional and quantitative genomics research on butterfly wing color and patterning. The work will identify the genetic architecture of a polygenic and polymorphic phenotype found in male butterflies, study the evolutionary processes underlying its adaptive gain, and test hypotheses about how this phenotype is driving...
- 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 three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $207,000 supports research on color polymorphism in nature as a model for predicting phenotypic evolution. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award will allow the grantee at San Francisco State University to investigate color variation in organisms and its implications for evolution from July 2021 through June 2024. The overarching goal of the Biological Sciences program is to advance the field and...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $240,000 funds research and outreach activities from August 2024 to July 2027 related to the evolutionary drivers of iridescence under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellow will investigate the role of iridescence in butterflies as an anti-predator defense through three aims: video recording interactions between birds and experimentally modified butterflies; testing the developmental plasticity of iridescence under...
- This $419,230 five-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will evaluate the contribution of sensory drive to the divergence of flower color in plant species. Led by Clemson University researchers, the project aims to understand how flower color may evolve differently between populations without major shifts in pollinator species by studying populations of Phacelia dubia, a bee-pollinated...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research using butterfly wing color patterns to elucidate an uncharacterized Wnt pathway. The two-year award runs from March 1, 2022 through February 29, 2024. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences. Funding will support the awardee's research using butterfly wing color patterns to increase understanding of a major uncharacterized signaling...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology Project Grant of $715,834 awarded to Trustees of Boston University aims to study the regulatory mechanisms underlying convergent evolution of color patterns in butterflies. The project will identify and functionally characterize cis-regulatory elements (CREs) that control the expression of two genes, Wnta and Optix, which are known to underlie adaptive color pattern variation within and between butterfly species. By...
