- This $355,123 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to genetically modify the immune system of the African clawed frog (Xenopus tropicalis) to improve its resistance to the deadly chytrid fungus. The goal is to identify how altering the frog's major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes affects its ability to fight off this pathogen and survive infection. The project includes a sub-award to the University...
- This $932,200 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) will support collaborative research at Florida State University to investigate the neurobiology and behavior underlying speciation in upland chorus frogs. The project aims to better understand how changes in brain function and mating behaviors drive the formation of new frog species. Key research activities will include studying neural circuits related to auditory communication...
- This $240,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the role of amphibian skin microbiomes in limiting the growth of deadly fungal pathogens. The research aims to explore the mechanisms by which certain skin microbes inhibit the fungal agents responsible for amphibian population declines, and to pilot the use of "antifungal probiotics" to protect...
- Colorado State University was awarded a $121,120 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research from June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023. The award will support research to test the mechanisms and consequences of an adaptive response to a catastrophic fire and heatwave in stream frogs. Specifically, the researchers will measure physiological, genetic, and other changes that...
- This Project Grant award of $240,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the evolutionary consequences of genetic rescue. The project will use data from an experiment with Trinidadian guppies to investigate the genomic basis and adaptive potential of populations following genetic rescue interventions. The fellow will also lead a summer field course for undergraduates at...
- This $132,000 project grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4, under the Candidate Species Conservation program (CFDA 15.660), will fund genetic analysis and population modeling to help inform conservation of the gopher frog (Lithobates capito). Tangled Bank Conservation will sequence thousands of genetic loci from 1,000 existing gopher frog samples across the species' range. They will assess phylogeographic structure, identify potential distinct...
- This $880,393 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill examining the role of behavior in species range expansion. Specifically, the research will evaluate how dispersal-promoting behaviors and hybridization may enable a grassland-adapted spadefoot toad species to expand its range into desert habitats in the southwestern U.S....
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the history and evolution of the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (BD). The research aims to: Develop new genetic tools to selectively sequence DNA from BD and its amphibian hosts, even in highly contaminated and fragmented samples. Use these new genetic tools to genotype BD...
- This $285,014 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund research to better understand the evolutionary drivers behind the diverse phenotypes (appearances) observed in a species of poison frog, Dendrobates tinctorius. The research aims to identify the genetic factors responsible for these phenotypic differences and characterize the demographic structure of D. tinctorius populations to explore the interplay between...
- This $664,796 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project that aims to investigate the vulnerability of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog prey in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest to climate change impacts. The research team at Colorado State University will leverage cutting-edge genomics, physiology, and computational modeling to assess thermal adaptation, adaptive capacity,...
