Temperature effects on Florida applesnail activity: implications for snail kite foraging success and distribution
The endangered Florida snail kite (Rostrhamlls sociaiJilis) feeds exclusively on applesnails(Pomacea pailiclosa), yet we lack direct observations that link applesnail behavior to snailkite foraging success. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the temperature-activityprofile of applesnails in the context of restricted foraging opportunities for snail kites.Applesnail activity was monitored in water temperatures ranging from 2-24
