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 federal Project Grant award, totaling $380,162.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of South Florida. The project, titled "Collaborative Research: Unraveling Parasite, Host, and Environmental Drivers of Diadematidae Scuticociliatosis, a Globally Significant Marine Disease," aims to investigate the environmental factors and microbiome interactions that influence the emergence and spread of a pathogenic ciliate...
- 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 $199,676 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on the impact of the loss of the keystone sea urchin species Diadema antillarum on Caribbean coral reef community structure and function. The award period is from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023. The grantee, Florida International University, will utilize innovative imaging tools and spatially explicit analyses to quantify fine-scale temporal changes in the community composition, size distributions, and spatial...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $341,191 to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography to investigate the microbe-metabolite interactions that govern bacterial growth efficiency in coral reef ecosystems. The project aims to uncover the microbial mechanisms driving the shift from coral-dominated to algae-dominated reef systems, supporting more effective conservation and restoration...
- 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 $228,683 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research examining the role of cleaning symbiosis in transferring microbes on coral reefs. Specifically, the University of Miami will study how cleanerfish may serve as keystone regulators of microbial communities, enhancing diversity and transferring key species between clients. Researchers will also assess if cleanerfish facilitate reef resilience by aiding microbial recovery after...
