Identifying plausible scenarios for the establishment of invasive Burmese pythons (Python molurus) in Southern Florida (2011, background): “Our results demonstrate that for pythons and other species with low inherent detection probability (including most snakes; Dorcas and Willson 2009), early action during incipient phases of an invasion is critical (Kraus 2009).”
Verified non-indigenous amphibians and reptiles in Florida from 1863 through 2010: Outlining the invasion process and identifying invasion pathways and stages (2011, background): “Various P. obsoletus subspecies (sensu lato) have been introduced to Massachusetts, Maryland and North Carolina, USA, the Bahamas, Brazil, and Great Britain (Eterovic & Duarte 2002; Kraus 2009).”
Diversity, biogeography and the global flows of alien amphibians and reptiles (2017, methodology): “Moreover, alien species invasion statuses are notoriously dynamic; thus, a number of species which were reported as not established by Kraus (2009) have meanwhile spread and become established, such as the snake Pantherophis guttatus (Linnaeus, 1766) in Brazil (Fonseca, Marques, & Tinôco, 2014).”
Contrasting patterns in the invasions of European terrestrial and freshwater habitats by alien plants, insects and vertebrates (2010, background): “Climate match is a crucial factor determining establishment in this poikilothermic taxonomic group (Bomford et al., 2009; Kraus, 2009), and climate may limit alien herptiles at both ends of the temperature spectrum.”
Knowing the past to predict the future: land‐use change and the distribution of invasive bullfrogs (2010, background): “Plans are ongoing in several countries to prevent and control the spread of this species (Lever, 2003; Ficetola et al., 2007b; Kraus, 2009).”
Impacts from Invasive Reptiles and Amphibians (2015, background): “These three regions are the areasmost heavily invaded by alien herpetofauna (Kraus 2009), so this pattern likely reflects study effort.”
Toe Clipping of Amphibians and Reptiles: Science, Ethics, and the Law1 (2011, background): “Nonnative species, which presumably thrive because of their ability to cohabitate with humans and many of which originate in the pet trade (Kraus, 2009), may also make appealing study organisms in that studying them also reduces environmental ethics concerns.”
An evaluation of the robustness of global amphibian range maps (2014, background): “We also removed all dubious records (e.g. records that probably came from sister species or from recently subdivided species) and all localities where the species is non-native (following Kraus, 2009); 0.7% of records were removed because they were dubious or non-native.”
Scientists' warning on invasive alien species (2020, background): “KRAUS, F. (2009). Alien Reptiles and Amphibians: A Scientific Compendium and Analysis.”
Crossing Frontiers in Tackling Pathways of Biological Invasions (2015, background): “…conditions, technology, consumer behavior, fashion, management interventions), traits of the species, the region of origin, and recipient regions (e.g., cultural and sociopolitical ties between regions, means and routes of transport; supplemental appendix S4; Kraus 2009, Katsanevakis et al.”
Does public awareness increase support for invasive species management? Promising evidence across taxa and landscape types (2017, background): “Opposition by public animal-rights groups and government officials also hindered the control of Eleutherodactylus coqui in Hawaii, an invasive frog that impacts invertebrate communities and affects ecosystem processes in the Hawaiian Islands (Kraus 2008).”
Invasive alien species on islands: impacts, distribution, interactions and management (2017, background): “For reptiles and amphibians, only early interception has proved successful (Kraus 2009).”
A global assessment of alien amphibian impacts in a formal framework (2016, methodology): “To assess all global amphibian invasions, we used data on successful introductions of amphibians outside of their native range as listed in Kraus (2009), but excluding species introduced simply within their native ranges.”
