- The National Science Foundation awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to study thermoregulatory evolution of hummingbirds using urban heat islands. Over a three-year period from June 2024 through May 2027, the fellow will investigate how urban heat is affecting the evolution of complex thermoregulatory traits and genetic divergence in hummingbirds across four cities located along a latitudinal gradient. The fellow will measure...
- This is a 5-year, $950,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Washington. The grant supports research investigating hummingbird bill performance during feeding and fighting for flowers, with the goal of improving understanding of evolutionary and diversification processes related to adaptations for accessing and defending food resources. The research program will study aggressive interactions and...
- This $532,655 multi-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Utah State University (USU) to deepen the understanding of how birds respond to their environmental surroundings. The project aims to: 1) characterize the spatial scales at which hundreds of North American bird species respond to various environmental factors; 2) test hypotheses about the mechanisms generating these scale-dependent...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $484,536 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to Colorado State University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will support research examining how two related alpine songbird species, the brown-capped rosy-finch and Sierra Nevada gray-crowned rosy-finch, have combined movement, evolutionary adaptation, and behavioral adjustment strategies to persist in extreme high-altitude...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $718,324 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to the University of Wyoming (UW) for the "IMPACTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL FILTERING VERSUS SPECIES INTERACTIONS ON PERSISTENCE AND COEXISTENCE IN A WARMING WORLD" research project. This 5-year initiative, beginning September 1, 2025, aims to improve understanding of how different temperature regimes alter ecological interactions at multiple scales. The...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding over 3 years starting June 1, 2025 to investigate how an alpine plant species in the Rocky Mountains will respond and adapt to climate change. The research aims to understand how population responses to microclimate variation impact range shifts under climate change scenarios. The project will use field and greenhouse experiments, genetic analyses, and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded $414,000 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The fellowship funding will support integrative research investigating the intersection of genomes, environments, and phenotypes in elevational migrant bird species across the Andes and Himalayas. The fellow will generate valuable museum specimens including frozen tissues and genomic,...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $500,179 supports research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to be conducted from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 by the University of California Santa Cruz. The research will examine how two related alpine songbird species, the brown-capped rosy-finch and Sierra Nevada gray-crowned rosy-finch, have combined movement, evolutionary adaptation, and behavioral adjustment strategies to persist in...
- This $206,612 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research by the University of Miami to investigate the evolutionary adaptations of high-altitude organisms to hypoxic (low-oxygen) environments. The research will test two key hypotheses: 1) that high-altitude species exposed to hypoxia for longer periods have reduced mitochondrial respiration rates to match oxygen supply, and increased mitochondrial efficiency to...
- This National Science Foundation award provides $159,259 to the University of Massachusetts Amherst through March 2024 to study the impacts of climate change and environmental pressures on long-distance migratory birds. Specifically, the award will support research tracking Hudsonian godwits throughout their annual migration cycle from Alaska to southern Chile using miniaturized tracking devices. The research aims to understand how changes occurring during different life cycle periods or...
