The award funds synthesis and analysis of decades of ecological data on Lyme disease transmission dynamics, addressing gaps between long-term field observations and population theory. The research synthesizes findings on...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $270,000 Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support research and training that will contribute to innovative advances in biology. The 3-year fellowship, starting July 1, 2025, will fund experiments investigating how parasites can impact the traits of their Daphnia dentifera hosts and how these effects may scale up to influence ecosystem functions like nutrient cycling and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $270,000 in funding from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2029 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the eco-evolutionary impacts of cyanobacterial diets on host-parasite interactions in freshwater ecosystems. The research aims to uncover the molecular basis for parasite susceptibility in the Daphnia-Metschnikowia host-parasite system and determine...
- This $483,851 award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at the University of Scranton to study factors influencing the prevalence of parasitic infections in birds. The project will collect and analyze parasite specimens from birds and insect vectors in northeastern Pennsylvania to test hypotheses about host traits and ecological interactions that drive parasitism. The research aims to advance understanding of disease...
