What is an EIS?
• Invasive • Exotic• Impacts–Economic–Ecological

Snails…Where did they come from?

We’ve Got Snail

Why eggs?
• Egg stage bottleneck to adult stage
• Vibrant colors
• Laid on emergent vegetation
• Species identification
• More accessible than snails
From Rawlings et al. 2007

Exotic vs. Native
• P. insularum (exotic)
• Average eggs per clutch– 1,626
• Tolerant to water stress
• P. paludosa (native)– Average eggs per clutch
• 10 to 80
• Invasive snail in FL~ 1100
• Intolerant to water stress
• Density effects (Conner et. al. 2008)

• Varying water levels
• Endangered, native species
• Extent of spread
• Limited Involvement of governmental institutions
• Urban areas• Pet trade• Ignorance• Connected waterways

Future Researchat Southwestern
• Alexis– Correlating egg clutch size with mass (and age) of female snails– Ability to age a population
• Megan– Contrasting herbivory resources of varying nutrients
• Brandon– Predation of hatchlings by various predators
• Olivia– Role of ovorubin in reducing egg predation

Got snail?
Hopefully not.
