This grant, offered by the BLM Oregon State Office, is specifically designed to clarify the taxonomic status of currently undescribed pebblesnails (genus Fluminicola) residing in Oregon’s Upper Klamath Basin. These particular snail populations are presently managed as special status species under the Interagency Special Status Sensitive Species Program, necessitating precise classification. The project will entail a comprehensive integrative study, combining morphological and molecular analyses of specimens sourced from all previously documented collecting localities. The ultimate objective is to compile the research findings into a formal manuscript that will definitively treat the taxonomy of these snails and accurately describe any new species discovered during the investigation, aiding future conservation efforts.

| Description: | Clarify the taxonomic status of undescribed pebblesnails (genus Fluminicola) from the upper Klamath basin (Oregon) which are currently being managed by the Interagency Special Status Sensitive Species Program (ISSSSP) as special status species. This will be accomplished by integrative (morphological and molecular) study of specimens from all of the previously reported collecting localities for these supposed novelties. The findings will be incorporated into a manuscript that formally treats the taxonomy of these snails and describes all of the new species that are detected. |
