- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia $131,645 on September 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate whether asexual reproduction represents an evolutionary disadvantage by comparing extinction rates and trait evolution between clonal and non-clonal species using the fossil record of ostracodes, small crustaceans whose sexually dimorphic shells enable researchers to infer...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded the University of Florida $177,884 on September 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate whether asexual reproduction represents an evolutionary dead end by comparing extinction risk and trait evolution between clonal and sexually reproducing species. The research uses the fossil record of ostracodes—small crustaceans whose shells differ between sexes—to test the hypothesis that clonal...
- The Smithsonian Institution will receive $148,087 under a two-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: COUPLING ARCHAEOLOGICAL SHELL AND NOVEL ISOTOPE APPROACHES TO RECONSTRUCT IMPACT OF NEARSHORE PRODUCTIVITY CHANGE." The award is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in...
- This $276,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and training from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024. The fellowship recipient will conduct integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments and phenotypes in evolutionary biology. Specifically, the fellow will study mechanisms connecting short-term plastic behavioral responses to long-term evolutionary change. Using a pupfish system with specialist and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded Swarthmore College $1,207,910 on May 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate how population age structure drives the evolution of social behavior and shapes individual behavioral expression across generations. The research uses the forked fungus beetle as a model organism to conduct replicated laboratory and seminatural field experiments that manipulate population-level demographic...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $169,618 Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) Project Grant to Oklahoma State University (OSU) to develop artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques that provide novel insights into the extinction risk of biological species. The project aims to leverage natural language processing and automated reasoning to address challenges in biodiversity data and species taxonomy classification, ultimately...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded The American Museum of Natural History $751,513 on July 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate how kleptocnidy—the theft and storage of nematocysts (stinging structures) from cnidarian prey—evolved as a biological innovation in nudibranch sea slugs. The research will determine whether kleptocnidy arose through specialization or loss of function of conserved phagocytosis pathways, an...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure awarded The American Museum of Natural History $974,848 on August 1, 2026, to unlock research value from a historically significant fossil collection through rehousing, digitization, and public access. The American Museum of Natural History received approximately 350,000 invertebrate fossils donated by Columbia University in 2022, comprising specimens such as trilobites, ammonites, and corals collected from the 1850s through...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $142,508 Project Grant to the California Academy of Sciences to support collaborative research integrating phylogenomics with the fossil record of sea urchins. The goal of this three-year award, running from April 2021 through March 2024, is to advance understanding of macroevolutionary patterns in sea urchins through integrating modern genomic techniques with the fossil record of this model clade. This award supports the Biological Sciences program's...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded the University of Virginia $952,820 on May 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research on how age structure in social groups drives the evolution of behavior. The project will test whether the age composition of social partners in a population determines behavioral expression and adaptation, using the forked fungus beetle as an invertebrate model system in replicated...
