Yale University received a $776,970 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for collaborative research investigating how geological dynamics and biological interactions jointly shape biodiversity in mountain ecosystems. Awarded June 15, 2026, with completion targeted for May 31, 2029, this research focuses on mountain squamates (lizards and snakes) as a model system. The project integrates newly assembled trait datasets with phylogenetic comparative methods and geospatial analyses to clarify how the physical formation of mountains over geologic timescales interacts with species behavior and adaptation to produce and maintain biodiversity in mountain regions. Beyond primary research outputs, the award supports substantial educational and workforce development products, including training for undergraduate and graduate students and a postdoctoral fellow in evolutionary biology, bioinformatics, and geosciences. The project will develop K-12 educational resources, create hands-on learning experiences for families and local communities, and establish interdisciplinary workshops and conference symposia connecting earth and life sciences. Results are intended to provide essential knowledge for long-term environmental planning and management of natural lands, with particular application to identifying valuable areas for conservation protection and prioritizing conservation investments across diverse mountain regions globally.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
