The Department of Fish and Wildlife Management is offering a grant to conduct research on increased pupation rates of the Comal Springs riffle beetle. The research aims to address low pupation rates hindering the production of F1 generations of CSRB. The grant will explore physicochemical and environmental factors influencing pupation in a captive setting, considering variables like temperature, dissolved oxygen, conspecific presence, flow rate, light, diet, and habitat complexity. Proposed ideas to enhance pupation rates will also be considered. Refer to the Full Text Notice of Funding Opportunity for comprehensive details. Closing date for submissions is Oct 12, 2018.

| Description: | This is a notice of intent to award a cooperative agreement to a qualified person or group to conduct research into increased pupation rates of the Comal Springs riffle beetle (Heterelmis comalensis) in a captive setting. Low pupation rate is the primary factor hindering our ability to produce F1 generations of Comal Springs riffle beetles (CSRB). We propose that research explore physicochemical and environmental factors that may influence CSRB pupation. Potential factors that may differ between natural habitat and a captive refugia include temperature, dissolved oxygen, presence of conspecifics, flow rate, light, diet, and habitat complexity. Other ideas that might increase pupation will also be accepted for review.**See Full Text NOFO for Complete Details** |
