Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of the native Hawaiian stream snail, *Neritina granosa*, known locally as the "hihiwai." The author, a dedicated researcher, conducted a two-year study to understand the snail's life cycle, habitat preferences, and population dynamics. The research site, Waikolu Stream on the island of Molokai, provided an ideal setting for observing the snail's unique amphidromous lifecycle, where larvae hatch in the stream, drift out to sea, and return as post-larvae to complete their lives. The book highlights the intricate relationship between the snail and its environment, including the impact of water diversions and dewatering on its population. It also explores the snail's role as an indicator species for water quality and habitat health, making it a valuable tool for environmental monitoring. The author's meticulous research and insightful analysis offer valuable insights into the ecology and conservation of this endangered Hawaiian snail.
