The U.S. Geological Survey’s Fort Collins Science Center is offering this grant to support critical research into metal uptake and food web transfer within aquatic and riparian ecosystems. This funding opportunity aims to identify the precise mechanisms by which metals are absorbed by stream insects and subsequently transferred to riparian spiders. The work is mandated to include controlled experimental studies, with the flexibility to incorporate field studies as deemed necessary. This initiative seeks to deepen understanding of environmental contaminant pathways and their ecological impacts.
