- This $419,234 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to study the effects of climate change on mammalian functional diversity over long timescales. Key objectives include: Analyzing changes in mammal functional diversity, floral composition, and abiotic factors like temperature before, during, and after the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) climate event in the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming. This will elucidate the...
- This $351,499 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to quantify the ecological legacy of the Terminal Pleistocene megafaunal extinction on mammal communities in the Edward's Plateau region of Texas. The research team at the University of Nebraska will characterize changes in diet, morphology, and ecological interactions of extinct and surviving mammals over the past 20,000 years through stable isotope analysis, 2D/3D...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded the Regents of the University of Michigan $1.347 million on June 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate how antagonistic biological interactions drive evolutionary innovation using microbial and computational model systems. The research team combines custom-built devices that control bacterial evolution in real time, self-replicating computer programs that evolve following biological...
- This CAREER award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $200,000 in funding to Stony Brook University to investigate eco-evolutionary responses of small mammals to landscape and climate dynamics over the last 23 million years. The project, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2030, will generate multi-proxy trait data from small-mammal fossil records across two geographically distinct...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $912,952 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on the diversity, distribution, and resilience of North American plants. The primary objectives are to: 1) Assemble detailed historical and current data on trait diversity and endemism of North American plants to understand the long-term eco-evolutionary drivers of...
- This $180,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports postdoctoral research examining taxon-specific responses to aridity gradients in small mammals over time and across space in the northwestern Great Basin of the United States. The awardee will analyze small mammal bones deposited in caves over the past 16,000 years to test hypotheses about species sensitivity to climate drying and whether ongoing changes in climate or land use pose a...
