- The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded Ramapo College of New Jersey $303,564 on October 1, 2025, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to examine the disconnect between prolactin and parental care in avian brood parasites. The research investigates why obligate brood parasites—birds that lay eggs in nests of other species rather than providing parental care—experience seasonal prolactin peaks despite providing no offspring care,...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska $873,777 on September 1, 2026, to study acoustic communication and social network dynamics in wild red-winged blackbird colonies under NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research uses acoustic and tracking technologies alongside artificial intelligence systems to examine how alarm calls propagate through breeding colonies of red-winged blackbirds and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $259,330 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Pittsburgh. This 1-year grant, awarded on May 1, 2024, will support research on "The Datafied Animal: Biologging, Machine Learning and Wildlife Conservation." The project will analyze the ethical, social, and practical implications of using new technologies like miniaturized animal tags, GPS-telemetry, and machine learning...
