The San Marcos National Fish Hatchery and Technology Center (SMNFH and TC) is offering this grant to support critical conservation efforts focused on the Comal Springs riffle beetle. The primary purpose of this initiative is to meticulously ensure that populations of these unique beetles, which are currently being maintained in refugia, accurately reflect and preserve the full genetic diversity found within their wild counterparts. This grant is essential for safeguarding the long-term viability and genetic integrity of the species, preventing potential bottlenecks, and maintaining the adaptive capacity necessary for their survival. By funding this vital work, SMNFH and TC aims to establish robust and genetically representative refugia populations, providing a crucial safety net for the future of the Comal Springs riffle beetle and contributing significantly to broader biodiversity conservation goals.
