Collaborative Research: MTM 2: Using successional dynamics, biogeography, and experimental communities to examine mechanisms of plant-microbiome functional interactions
Microbial communities (microbiomes) play important roles in animals, plants, and even whole ecosystems. However, microbiomes are constantly changing through time and space. These c...
Engineering biosynthesis and incorporation of an immunogenic amino acid
Live bacterial vaccines can be engineered to more effectively trigger a desired immune response to prevent infection. This project examines an approach to making more effective liv...
Dimensions US-China: Collaborative Research: Impacts of heritable plant-fungus symbiosis on phylogenetic, genetic and functional diversity
As primary producers of life, the hundreds of thousands of species of flowering plants are an essential component of Earth’s biodiversity. Interestingly, seeds of flowering plants...
Collaborative Research: Investigating the genomic basis of key performance traits to quantify the evolutionary potential of coral populations under climate change
Facing an onslaught of environmental stressors, tropical coral reefs around the world have declined dramatically in recent years, particularly in the Caribbean. To help restore the...
Neural underpinnings of attention in the real world: Insights from co-registration of eye movements and EEG
Visual attention plays a fundamental role in many tasks that have important consequences for the daily lives of Americans. Two primary tasks are visual search (e.g., identifying si...
Collaborative Research: RI: Small: Modeling and Learning Ethical Principles for Embedding into Group Decision Support Systems
Many settings in everyday life require making decisions by combining the subjective preferences of individuals in a group, such as where to go to eat, where to go on vacation, whom...
Collaborative Research: MRA: Scale, Space, and Time: A Unifying Approach to Aquatic Invasions
Invasive species pose a serious threat to biodiversity and economic security, with acute effects in river ecosystems. Yet despite decades of research, ecology still faces a glaring...
