Acknowledgements

Our work has primarily been funded by the US Army Corps of Engineers’ Aquatic Nuisance Species Program’s focus on Next Generation Ecological Modeling. We are profoundly grateful for your support.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our collaborators from the San Antonio River Authority, the City of San Antonio, and Texas Parks and Wildlife. Your contributions, whether through resources, expertise, or encouragement, have been fundamental to the success of our mission.

Our heartfelt thanks also go out to the generous landowners who graciously granted us access to their land, enabling us to carry out vital fieldwork.
