Federal Grant Award Summary The University of Nevada, Reno received a $492,512 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 – Biological Sciences program) on August 1, 2026, with completion anticipated by July 31, 2031. This collaborative Long-Term Research in Environmental Biology (LTREB) renewal award supports the continuation of one of North America's longest-running observational studies of insect populations across six field sites in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Northern California and Nevada. The primary deliverables include ongoing data collection and analysis of over 500 species of butterflies and moths, with particular focus on habitat use patterns, direct and indirect temperature and precipitation effects on insect populations, and development of artificial intelligence (AI)-based forecasting models to predict insect population dynamics. Beyond primary research outputs, the project delivers significant public engagement and educational services through field days, public talks, a novel forecasting website, and direct outreach to local schools and teachers in urban and rural Nevada communities. The research contributes to advancing knowledge of pollinator health and stability while completing a decadal research expansion plan that builds upon 50 years of foundational research in montane insect ecology. These products and services support national priorities in understanding species persistence during environmental change and strengthening the scientific enterprise through workforce development and science education initiatives.
