Federal Project Grant Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded $1.44 million to the University of Michigan's Office of Research and Sponsored Projects under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research on self-organized spatial patterns and top-down herbivore control in agricultural ecosystems. The project, effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031, will deliver integrated research outputs combining computer modeling, laboratory studies, field experiments, and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to advance ecological pest management strategies. The research focuses specifically on understanding ant spatial pattern formation in Puerto Rico coffee agroecosystems and their role in predatory control of major coffee pests, with the objective of providing farmers with practical ecological tools to reduce pesticide reliance and strengthen natural pest control mechanisms. The deliverables from this project include scientific outputs suitable for peer-reviewed publication, AI-enhanced computational models for pest prediction and management, practical guidance tools for farmers and agricultural policymakers, and training in advanced modeling and AI techniques for the next generation of agricultural scientists. By translating complex systems research into actionable agricultural protocols, this award supports the development of more resilient and profitable farming systems while advancing fundamental understanding of ecological dynamics in managed agricultural environments.
