- This Project Grant award for $268,850.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a comprehensive 2-year research project titled "The Ecology of Big: A Synthesis of 40 Years of Bioenergetics from Keystone Carnivores Living Large on the Landscape" conducted by the University of California, Santa Cruz. The project aims to synthesize decades of data on the energetic demands and hunting behaviors of large (>25 kg) carnivorous mammals,...
- This $485,187 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation will support the development of new models, algorithms, and visualization tools to improve strategic conservation planning. Funded under the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the award aims to advance quantitative decision-making methods that integrate ecological features like habitat connectivity and species population dynamics. The recipient, University of...
- 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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $827,019 to the University of Massachusetts to develop models and algorithms for inferring bird population movements from citizen science data. Leveraging billions of bird observations from the eBird citizen science project, the awardee will create computational tools to simulate migratory routes and produce movement...
- This $139,114 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the development of computational models to predict changes in biodiversity patterns over time at the University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc. Over the one-year period from May 2023 to April 2024, the awardee will synthesize decades of species distribution data and research to generate dynamic models incorporating factors like physiology and species interactions. A...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $748,624 to North Carolina State University from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The funding will support research to develop integrated distribution models for approximately 100 North American mammal species. Researchers will combine traditional museum data with new camera trap and citizen science data, including from the National Ecological Observatory Network and Snapshot USA program....
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $212,912 to develop novel mathematical approaches that bridge the gap between theoretical models and empirical data on animal movement and cognition. The goal is to enhance understanding of how and why animals move through different environments and habitats, which is a critical challenge in ecology, conservation biology, and wildlife management. The project will foster interdisciplinary collaboration between mathematicians, ecologists, and data scientists, while providing training opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students in applied mathematics and ecological modeling. The research aims to produce software tools for direct application to conservation and wildlife management efforts.
