The research aims to address gaps in existing models of...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $487,916 to The Trustees of Smith College to conduct research on how the Baltimore checkerspot butterfly responds to changes in climate and novel host plant species. The key objectives are to: 1) investigate how host shifts affect the butterfly's exposure and tolerance to thermal stress and drought, 2) determine if host shifts are driven by synchronization between the butterfly and its host...
- 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...
