Pomacea paludosa (Florida Apple Snail) Reproduction in Restored and Natural Seasonal Wetlands in the Everglades

Abstract: Seasonal wetlands have high variability in the timing, depth, and duration of flooding. The timing of hydroperiod relative to reproduction may be especially critical since reproductive timing may be constrained by other factors. Pomacea paludosa (Florida apple snail) is a large, aquatic snail that tolerates a range of hydroperiods. This study compared P. paludosa reproduction in depressions in natural (N=20) and restored (N=60) seasonal wetlands (wet 6 to 8 months) in the southern Everglades for five years. Th… Show more

“…Snails become inactive when temperatures drop below 13°C (Stevens et al, 2002), and relatively cool temperatures may delay oviposition in the spring (Hanning, 1979). The spring oviposition peak is associated with the dry season, which often culminates in a dry down (i.e., the water table falls below ground level) during which the snails become inactive (Darby et al, , 2008, but, following summer rains, they reinitiate reproduction (O'Hare, 2010).…”

“…Apple snails have low densities, typically < 0.5 m -2 , so to better monitor the assemblages we quantified apple snail relative abundances at the scale of each wetland for three years during the invasion by counting egg masses laid above the water surfaces on emergent vegetation (Turner 1996). Pomacea paludosa lay pale pink to white masses of typically 15-35 eggs (Hanning 1979, O'Hare 2010 while P. maculata lay vibrant pink egg masses of small eggs that can often number up to 2000 per mass (Barnes et al 2008). In LILA the typical egg masses appear to be smaller (~200-900 eggs • mass -1 , Dorn, unpublished estimates using regressions in Kyle et al 2014).…”
