- This $300,072 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to investigate the environmental drivers and impacts of Diadematidae scuticociliatosis, a disease affecting the long-spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum in the Caribbean. The research, led by the University of the Virgin Islands, combines field monitoring, laboratory experiments, and molecular analysis to understand how the pathogenic ciliate,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $278,494 to Northern Illinois University to conduct collaborative research on the drivers of Diadematidae scuticociliatosis, a disease affecting long-spined sea urchins and impacting Caribbean coral reef ecosystems. The research aims to identify environmental reservoirs of the pathogenic ciliate responsible for this disease, and explore how environmental factors, host microbiomes, and the...
- This Project Grant award of $351,696 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project led by Cornell University to investigate the drivers of a globally significant marine disease affecting the long-spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum. The project aims to unravel the relationships between the causative ciliate pathogen, environmental conditions, and the urchin microbiome to better understand and potentially mitigate future urchin...
- This $199,919 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research by Sociedad Ambiente Marino Inc. on the causes and impacts of a resurgent die-off of the long-spined black sea urchin (Diadema antillarum) in the Caribbean. Using multidisciplinary approaches including metagenomics, metabolomics, and demographic analyses at four sites in Puerto Rico, the grantee will investigate the microbial profiles and...
- This federal Project Grant award for $200,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS). The grant, titled "Pursuit: Biodiversity and Taxonomy of Apicomplexan Blood Parasites Infecting Coral Reef Fishes," aims to study the diversity and ecology of tiny apicomplexan blood parasites found in coral reef fishes. The project will use systematic sampling and...
- This three-year, $390,357 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research investigating marine diatom-parasite relationships in upwelling systems. The principal investigator at Princeton University will analyze archived samples from diatom-dominated upwelling regions using tag sequencing, metagenomics, and quantitative PCR to identify diatom-parasite pairs and examine their abundance, diversity, and dynamics over the course of blooms....
- This $918,053 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports fundamental and applied research to document and characterize the diverse communities of marine epizoic diatoms living on endangered marine megafauna. The overall project objectives are to: 1) describe and formally document up to 50 new species of epizoic diatoms; 2) reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships of these diatoms to understand their evolution and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant, awarded to New York University (NYU) on August 1, 2024, provides $552,466 in funding over a 3-year period to conduct collaborative research on the phylogeny, systematics, and adaptation of marine epizoic diatoms to endangered megafaunal hosts. The key objectives of this project are to: 1) document and describe up to 50 new diatom species living on marine animals like sea turtles, whales, and manatees;...
- This Project Grant award of $444,594 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research into how a major extinction event during the Plio-Pleistocene transition impacted the interactions between flatworm parasites and their clam hosts in the western Atlantic Ocean. The project aims to evaluate changes in parasite prevalence, abundance, body size, and impacts on host growth and longevity, as well as utilize geochemical proxies to understand the...
- This $696,447 federal Project Grant award, administered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will stabilize, curate, and provide digital access to approximately 128,000 specimens of parasites collected from a wide range of vertebrate hosts over the past 80 years. The award to the University of Connecticut aims to preserve these irreplaceable historical parasite collections, update host identifications, and make the data publicly available through...
