Summary
This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025. The fellowship supports research and training of the fellow that will contribute to biology in innovative ways. A fundamental goal of evolutionary biology is to understand how organisms adapt and change in response to their environments. But this is challenging to study in nature because most organisms we observe today have been evolving gradually in concert with their environmental conditions for thousands to millions of years. To work around this challenge the fellow will use the wild population of parrots (gen
