The recipient, University of...
- The University of Florida was awarded a $278,919 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund a collaborative research project titled "Origins and Drivers of Extinction of Caribbean Avifauna" from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. As described under the Biological Sciences program, the grant aims to advance understanding of major problems confronting...
- The National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $228,975 project grant to the University of Florida to test the resilience of savanna ecosystems following the removal of an invasive ant species in central Kenya. The 3-year project, starting on June 1, 2025, will investigate whether the removal of the invasive ant can restore the mutualistic relationship between acacia trees and native ants, thereby reducing browsing by elephants and other...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $167,390 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for the "Collaborative Research: Biodiversity Dynamics" project. This 3-year project, running from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027, will integrate rapid assessment technologies such as satellite, helicopter, drone, and ground-based monitoring to measure the velocity and extent of non-native...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $175,380 Collaborative Research Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Arizona State University (ASU) for the project "Advancing Theory and Concept of Ecosystem Heterogeneity: A Five-Decade Synthesis." The project aims to study how the fundamental ecological concept of spatial patchiness has progressed over time by synthesizing insights from an exemplary scientific career. The research will focus on...
- This $299,551 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Colorado State University to evaluate the impacts of plant biodiversity on the productivity of grasslands and forests across the United States. The project will use remote sensing technologies and field-based observations to characterize different facets of biodiversity and quantify their relationships with primary productivity. The research aims to...
- This $414,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds postdoctoral research fellowship activities from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship will support integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment and phenotypes. Specifically, the fellow will conduct multiple experiments in defaunated and intact tropical forests in Ecuador to investigate how the...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $245,385 to the University of Florida to conduct research on the impacts of habitat loss and fragmentation on biodiversity. The project, titled "Is habitat fragmentation detrimental or beneficial? Promoting our understanding of a contentious ecological question via synthesis," aims to synthesize two decades of data on the Amazonian understory plant Heliconia acuminata to isolate the effects of habitat loss versus fragmentation. The research will generate new insights into the relative impacts of these distinct processes on biodiversity, as well as publicly available datasets, computer code, and educational materials for the research community. The project will run from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2027.
