This grant is for supporting a crucial ecological study at Yellowstone National Park, focusing on the inventory and identification of aquatic macroinvertebrates. Specifically, it facilitates Montana State University’s collaboration with the National Park Service to conduct comprehensive sampling and population assessments of red-rim melania and other non-native gastropod species. The primary purpose is to gather vital data on exotic snail populations, which are significant indicators of ecosystem health and potential threats to native biodiversity within Yellowstone’s unique aquatic environments. The findings from this detailed inventory and subsequent analysis will contribute to understanding the distribution and impact of these species, aiding in informed management strategies for the park’s invaluable natural resources. This initiative underscores a commitment to protecting and preserving Yellowstone’s delicate ecosystems through scientific research.
