This proposal has 3 main objectives: Objective 1: Create a baseline inventory of freshwater snails for the Wheeler Refuge Complex. 

Objective 2: Identify target areas that contain at-risk, threatened, or endangered species to consider for long-term monitoring for invasive species and

Objective 3: Identify trematode parasites associated with identified and vouchered snails to evaluate potential disease threats to wildlife utilizing refuges within the Wheeler Refuge Complex
