The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,031,115 project grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to develop new machine learning approaches for analyzing fossil and living plant species data. The grant aims to generate a large morphological dataset for flowering plants using novel machine learning methods and develop new statistical methods for modeling evolution. Researchers will use these advances in data...
This $331,858 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Wake Forest University to develop new machine learning techniques for analyzing plant morphology data. The goal is to identify evolutionary processes underlying rapid innovation in flowering plants during the Cretaceous period. Key products include a large dataset of morphological traits for fossil and living plant species generated using novel machine learning methods. The project will also develop new statistical...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the ecological implications of whole genome duplication in plants. The $240,000 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will enable the fellow to develop new phylogenetic comparative methods to understand how whole-genome duplication impacts climatic niche dynamics. The research will leverage existing...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Biodiversity and a High-Resolution Recovery of Fossil Plant-Insect Associations Across the Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary" from March 1, 2021 through February 29, 2024. This award falls under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and...
This $988,130 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program focuses on advancing understanding of the evolutionary history and ecological adaptations of the Montiaceae plant family. Led by researchers at Yale University, the project will construct a comprehensive phylogeny (evolutionary tree) for the Montiaceae, which contains ~250 species of annual and perennial herbs found across diverse environments like deserts, mountains, and Mediterranean regions....
This Project Grant award of $285,980 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to study the impact of the evolution of land plants on the Earth system. The research team, led by the Regents of the University of California at Riverside, will generate new field-based geochemical and paleontological data from the Canadian Arctic to reconstruct ecological and environmental changes concurrent with the radiation of early...
This $750,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the evolution and development of fundamental plant reproductive structures called sporangia. Led by the New York Botanical Garden, this interdisciplinary project will investigate the molecular genetics of sporangium development in the model fern Ceratopteris. The research aims to elucidate the core genetic network underlying sporangium...
This $431,424 National Science Foundation project grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at the University of Kentucky to advance understanding of plant diversification processes in the tropical Andes mountains. The research team will develop new genomic analysis software and mathematical models to disentangle the biological and environmental drivers of diversification among four groups of flowering plants endemic to the region. They will...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $396,677 to the Field Museum of Natural History, a non-profit research organization in Chicago, will investigate the early history and evolution of tropical forests in South America during the Early Cretaceous period, approximately 100-145 million years ago. The research will examine exceptionally well-preserved plant fossils from Colombia and Ecuador to reconstruct past vegetation composition and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $799,458 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF) for the 3-year period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The grant is part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund collaborative research to integrate plant traits, phylogenies, and distributional data to forecast the risks and resilience of North American plant communities in response to climate and land use changes. The...
