Summary:

The endangered Chittenango ovate amber snail, found only in one location
alongside a Central New York waterfall, has achieved a step crucial to its
recovery: captive breeding in a laboratory.

......................

The endangered Chittenango ovate amber snail (COAS), found only in one
location alongside a Central New York waterfall, has achieved a step crucial to
its recovery: captive breeding in a laboratory at the SUNY College of
Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF).

Called the "Chit" by those interested in its well being, the
snail has been the subject of a collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) and other partners. The snail survives exclusively alongside
Chittenango Falls, about 22 miles southeast of Syracuse, New York. Biologists
have feared that a single catastrophic event could wipe out the entire population.

To address this threat, Cody Gilbertson, a graduate student working in the
laboratory of Dr. Rebecca Rundell, has worked to establish a captive breeding
population in a laboratory on the ESF campus in Syracuse. She is working in the
Center for Integrated Teaching and Research (CIRTAS) in Illick Hall. Since
early June, more than 600 baby snails have been hatched in the lab.

"It has been important for us to understand what the Chittenango ovate
amber snail needs for long-term survival," Gilbertson said. "We have
studied their habitat and simulated the conditions in the lab for an optimal
rearing environment. This backup population can supplement their wild
population and prevent extinction in case of an unplanned, destructive event
such as a storm, rockslide, or drought."

Her work is part of an ongoing collaboration between the USFWS, the New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), Rosamond Gifford
Zoo, Seneca Park Zoo, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and
Historic Preservation and ESF to protect the snail.

"The work being done through this project is greatly refining our
understanding of how this animal lives and what its needs are for successful
management of its habitat," said DEC Wildlife Biologist Kathleen O'Brien.
"This may be important not only for the COAS in New York but for
preservation of other rare species of snails in trouble across the globe."

Every year, these partners gather with volunteers to monitor the
population. Estimated population size fell in 2006 after a rockslide occurred
in the snails' habitat. The goal for these efforts is to boost the population.
The snails thrive in the spray zone of the waterfall, a moist and mild
environment, and they feed on microscopic fungi and detritus on the nearby
rocks and vegetation. The species is named for its home and its opaque,
egg-shaped, amber-colored shell.

"We've been working toward this since writing a revised recovery plan
in 2006. This is a very exciting step in Chittenango ovate amber snail
conservation," said Robyn Niver, USFWS endangered species biologist.
