San Diego State University Foundation received a $195,343 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) beginning June 1, 2026 and concluding May 31, 2029. The award supports collaborative research focused on the integrative revisionary systematics of extreme short-range endemic cybaeid spiders from the California Floristic Province. The project will employ extensive fieldwork and museum-based research combined with modern digital microscopy and genomic tools to discover and describe soil-associated spider species with highly restricted geographic distributions, typically limited to areas under 1,000 square kilometers. The primary deliverables include scientific documentation and species descriptions resulting from systematic taxonomy work on multiple radiations of locally distributed California soil spiders, biodiversity assessment data to identify and prioritize regions with unique endemism, and educational training materials. Additionally, the project will conduct a bioinformatics bootcamp course on spider identification and biotechnology to train the next generation of students in biodiversity sciences and modern genomic research methods. The research outcomes will advance understanding of speciation processes, regional biogeography, and landscape-level conservation priorities for microhabitat-specific endemic species that present significant challenges and opportunities for systematic biology research.Federal Grant Award Summary
