The USGS Wetland and Aquatic Science Center in Gainesville, Florida, is providing funding for research on the population dynamics of the Florida apple snail. This grant aims to investigate the species’ significance in central and south Florida wetland ecosystems, particularly in the Everglades, and how wetland restoration and water management impact its population. The study will focus on its role as a crucial prey for endangered snail kites, limpkins, and other wildlife. Applications are due by July 8, 2016.

| Description: | The USGS Wetland and Aquatic Science Center, Gainesville, Florida is offering a funding opportunity for research investigating population dynamics of the Florida apple snail (Pomacea paludosa). This species is a critical component of central and south Florida wetland (e.g. Everglades) food webs, and its population dynamics are directly and indirectly influenced by wetland restoration and water management. Besides being critical prey for endangered snail kites (Rostrhamus sociabilis), P. paludosa dominates the diet of limpkins (Aramus guarana) and serves as prey for aquatic insects, crayfishes, turtles, and fishes. |
