The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees $155,000 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) for collaborative research quantifying habitat fragmentation impacts on ecological dynamics using a trait-based framework. The project develops and validates mathematical models incorporating species-specific traits—particularly dispersal and reproductive strategies—to predict how species respond to fragmented landscapes. Research integrates mathematical modeling (partial differential equation frameworks at the micro level and metapopulation ordinary differential equation models at larger scales) with controlled laboratory experiments and long-term field data. The work emphasizes edge effects and biological trade-offs within patchy landscapes and introduces a novel fitness variation index to examine patch configuration impacts. Deliverables include computational tools and open-source software supporting conservation planning, alongside course-based undergraduate research, workshops, and outreach activities that translate mathematical discoveries into conservation practice and broaden participation in quantitative biology. Performance runs through July 31, 2029, with work performed in Alafaya, Florida.
