The Department of Interior is offering a cooperative agreement specifically for research aimed at enhancing refugia populations of the endangered Comal Springs dryopid beetle and Peck’s cave amphipod. This grant, a single-source award to BIO-WEST, Incorporated, will support vital research at the San Marcos Aquatic Resources Center. Its core purpose is to deepen understanding of the species’ juvenile development, maturation, and life history. Such insights are crucial for improving captive refugium establishment and survival. Ultimately, the funded research seeks to boost successful pupation rates into adults, significantly aiding the conservation of these vulnerable aquatic invertebrates.

No other applications will be reviewed. This funding opportunity is for research activities to enhance refugia populations of the endangered species of Comal Springs dryopid beetle and the endangered Peckâ¿¿s cave amphipod at the San Marcos Aquatic Resources Center. Research is needed to better understand juvenile development and maturation of Peckâ¿¿s cave amphipods and Comal Springs dryopid beetles. The San Marcos Aquatic Resources Center maintains these species in captivity but, in order to enhance refugium establishment and survival. requires additional information on life history. Research funded by this program will help increase amphipod and beetle pupation successfully into adults. |
