Project Grant 2554844
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $744,781 provides funding to the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the genetic and energetic basis of mitonuclear incompatibilities during the formation of new species in swordtail fish (Xiphophorus). The research aims to identify specific combinations of mitochondrial and nuclear genes that create reproductive barriers in hybridizing populations, leading to the development of new...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will provide $380,238 to Kennesaw State University Research And Service Foundation, Inc. (KSU R&SF) over 3 years starting on October 1, 2024. The project will study the maintenance of alternative reproductive tactics in a species of two-lined salamanders in urban streams around Atlanta, Georgia. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing and using genotyping...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $218,472 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to develop molecular tools for exploring mating system diversity in salamanders. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support basic biological research that strengthens the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the Principal Investigator at the University of North Carolina at Asheville will learn and apply RADcap single...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund $240,000 over three years to support an integrative investigation into microevolutionary change in salamanders impacted by urbanization. Awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the funding will support a postdoctoral research fellowship focusing on the northern two-lined salamander. The fellow will examine genomic and phenotypic consequences of urbanization by sampling salamanders from urban, suburban, and...
- This Project Grant award of $240,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the evolutionary consequences of genetic rescue. The project will use data from an experiment with Trinidadian guppies to investigate the genomic basis and adaptive potential of populations following genetic rescue interventions. The fellow will also lead a summer field course for undergraduates at...
- This $269,173 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is funding collaborative research at Stanford University to investigate the genetic and energetic basis of mitonuclear incompatibilities during speciation in swordtail fish. The research aims to identify specific combinations of mitochondrial and nuclear genes that create reproductive barriers and impact hybrid fitness, including examining how these incompatibilities...
- This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Infrastructure division will fund $240,000 to support research investigating the effects of polyploidy on developmental and morphological evolution in salamanders. The fellowship awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will enable the grantee to study unique polyploid salamander lineages to better understand how whole genome duplications shape development and phenotype across organ systems....
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) totaling $635,938 will fund research to investigate how increasing environmental variability impacts fitness tradeoffs across complex life cycles, using a salamander species as the study organism. The research aims to understand how changes in the timing of metamorphosis from aquatic larvae to terrestrial adults affects the survival and adaptation of each life stage, as well as overall...
- This $332,924 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research at the University of Nebraska from August 2022 to July 2025 investigating convergent evolution of mitochondrial cytochrome c maturation systems in plant and algal species. The research will use molecular biology, genetics, plant growth assays, and computational analysis to study numerous pathway switches and assess the mechanisms and evolutionary importance when there is...
- This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), totaling $207,000, will fund research into the implications of hybridization on macroevolutionary and contemporary timescales in biology. The award falls under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major issues. The grantee, located in Roosevelt, Utah,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $428,321.00 to Ball State University to conduct research on mitonuclear conflict and co-evolution in an all-female salamander species. The research aims to study how the interactions between the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes in these salamanders have evolved and been maintained over millions of years, despite the significant genomic challenges they face. The project will integrate research across biological disciplines and train students in data analytics and scientific communication skills, with the goal of understanding the consequences of mitonuclear mismatch in other organisms. The award has an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2026.
