Rutgers, The State University has been awarded $174,877 under a collaborative research Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074: Biological Sciences) effective January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2029. This award supports research assessing wild bee resilience to heat waves across multiple scales of biological organization. The project delivers three primary research products: (1) controlled studies measuring individual bee behavior, reproduction, and survival across life stages in response to simulated heat waves; (2) field-based monitoring using automated remote cameras to track nesting populations and determine whether bees select cooler nest locations during heat wave conditions; and (3) artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted camera trap observations measuring community-level native bee activity before, during, and after naturally occurring heat waves across hundreds of square kilometers. The research addresses critical gaps in understanding how wild bee populations and communities maintain pollination services under extreme temperature stress. Beyond core research delivery, the award includes development of newly-available monitoring technologies to enhance environmental observation efficiency and public engagement through educational programming at the University of Minnesota museum. These outputs are designed to inform strategies for protecting natural pollination systems and supporting food security in the context of climate-driven environmental variability.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
