The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University a $1,048,509 Project Grant (CFDA 47.074—Biological Sciences program) effective October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029, to conduct experimental research on the eco-evolutionary effects of heatwaves on bacterium-yeast competition in floral nectar and consequences for plant-pollinator mutualism. The research will be conducted at Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve in California and will examine how heatwaves alter the interactions between bacteria and yeasts in nectar, with downstream effects on nectar chemistry, hummingbird pollinator preference, and plant seed production. The project uses monkeyflower—a hummingbird-pollinated shrub native to California—as a model system to test four primary hypotheses regarding heatwave-induced changes to nectar chemistry and their genetic mechanisms of effect on nectar-inhabiting microorganism growth. The primary deliverable is basic research advancing fundamental understanding of complex ecological relationships among plants, animals, and microorganisms under environmental stress conditions. Secondary products include genetic analysis of nectar-specialist microorganisms to understand their adaptation mechanisms for rapid nutrient uptake, with potential biotechnology applications. The project also generates student training and workforce development benefits through academic research participation and community engagement via collaboration with a local nonprofit organization with ties to the surrounding community.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
