Temperature effects on Florida applesnail activity: implications for snail kite foraging
success and distribution.
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 30(1),
The endangered Florida snail kite (Rostrhamlls sociaiJilis) feeds exclusively on applesnails
(Pomacea pailiclosa), yet we lack direct observations that link applesnail behavior to snail
kite foraging success. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the temperature-activity
profile of applesnails in the context of restricted foraging opportunities for snail kites.
Applesnail activity was monitored in water temperatures ranging from 2-24
