This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $415,682 to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation to conduct research on the effects of ocean warming on a coastal fish species. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify genetic variation in temperature response, 2) determine if local adaptation to temperature exists, and 3) assess whether evolutionary changes can occur quickly enough to impact population...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $768,325 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms underlying how animals specialize for life in the deep ocean. The project will focus on studying the cell membranes of deep-sea animals, particularly ctenophores (comb jellies), to uncover the genetic and physicochemical adaptations that enable survival under the extreme...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2023. The fellowship supports research and training that will contribute to the NSF's "Rules of Life" initiative, focusing on the physiological implications of long-term hypoxia (low oxygen) exposure on marine fish, particularly the stickleback. The research will investigate the plastic response of...
The National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded a $546,576 project grant to the University of California Santa Cruz under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support collaborative research on physiological adaptation and speciation in extreme environments from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The award will fund integrated analyses of how selection shapes genomic divergence between fish populations living in hydrogen sulfide-rich springs...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $314,306 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. This 2-year grant, effective October 1, 2024, will support a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate the oceanographic and ecological factors affecting the abundance and distribution of mesopelagic organisms in the California Current ecosystem. The research aims to improve understanding of how...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,363,205 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct collaborative research on oxygen transport mechanisms in elite diving mammals. The project aims to investigate differences in how oxygen is delivered to skeletal muscles in pinnipeds (e.g., sea lions) versus cetaceans (e.g., dolphins) during long-duration dives. The research team will evaluate in vivo oxygen...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $873,836 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) on August 15, 2024. The grant will fund a 5-year research project to investigate rapid evolution in reef-building corals during marine heatwave events. The project aims to study how the mortality induced by these extreme climate events changes the genetic composition of coral populations. Using a combination of field experiments...
This $891,697 project grant, awarded on August 15, 2024 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program, will fund a collaborative research study on pressure adaptation and convergent evolution in deep-sea fishes. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize genome evolution patterns in 100 species of perciform fishes across a 0-8,000 meter depth range, 2) measure structural changes in biomolecules involved in metabolism, cell structure,...
This federal Project Grant award of $432,357 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand how fishes have adapted to high-pressure environments in the deep ocean. The research aims to: Characterize patterns of genome evolution across 100 species of perciform fishes found at depths ranging from 0-8,000 meters. Measure structural changes in key biomolecules involved in metabolism, cell movement, and stress responses across...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the genetic basis of heat tolerance in the ecologically important giant kelp species (Macrocystis pyrifera). The 3-year project aims to: (1) determine if warming events are associated with genetic signatures of population decline in giant kelp, (2) identify adaptive genetic variants that contribute...
