This Project Grant award, totaling $223,355.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Biological Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.074). The project, titled "CAREER: Seasonal Migration as an Ecological Barrier to Gene Flow Between Hybridizing Species," will test the role of migration in maintaining and generating biodiversity using advanced tracking and genomic technology. Specifically, the research will (1) compare survival rates of parental and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research aimed at incorporating behavioral science insights into models for predicting the eco-evolutionary responses of North American bird species to climate change. The $901,999 award to the University of Texas at Austin, spanning August 2024 to July 2027, will leverage indicators of behavioral flexibility, such as relative brain size, to improve forecasts of changes in...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology provides $199,926 to the University of South Carolina from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The funding supports research titled "EAGER: Testing for Genes Associated with Migratory Behavior in a Peripatetic Species" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The goal of the research is to test for genes associated with migratory behavior using a species known to travel...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding over 3 years starting September 1, 2024. The award supports a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the genomic basis and evolutionary implications of long-distance migration in shorebirds. The research aims to: 1) identify genome regions involved in adaptation for extreme migratory behaviors, and 2) evaluate how the demands of long-distance...
This National Science Foundation award provides $159,259 to the University of Massachusetts Amherst through March 2024 to study the impacts of climate change and environmental pressures on long-distance migratory birds. Specifically, the award will support research tracking Hudsonian godwits throughout their annual migration cycle from Alaska to southern Chile using miniaturized tracking devices. The research aims to understand how changes occurring during different life cycle periods or...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $240,000 provides funding from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026 to investigate environmental and genomic regulation of molt in birds. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support basic biological research that strengthens the Nation's scientific enterprise. The grantee will conduct integrative research to understand the interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes that govern molting...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $190,605 project grant to the University of South Carolina under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from September 1, 2021 to April 30, 2023. The grant will support research examining the impacts of climate change on community dynamics and long-distance migratory bird populations. As part of the Biological Sciences program's goal of strengthening the nation's biological research enterprise and increasing scientific understanding,...
This three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $770,868 will support research from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025 examining how seasonal migration influences genetic migration in boreal forest bird species. Funded through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of Michigan will investigate the relationship between seasonal long-distance migration and genetic differentiation using genomic tools and migration tracking tags across 32 co-distributed bird species....
This $532,655 multi-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Utah State University (USU) to deepen the understanding of how birds respond to their environmental surroundings. The project aims to: 1) characterize the spatial scales at which hundreds of North American bird species respond to various environmental factors; 2) test hypotheses about the mechanisms generating these scale-dependent...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $414,000 supports research investigating the role of migratory behavior in population divergence and speciation from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award will train a postdoctoral fellow in comparative phylogenetics and genomic analyses to study how animal migration contributes to the formation of new species. The fellow will test whether migratory lineages have higher...
