Identifying plausible scenarios for the establishment of invasive Burmese pythons (Python molurus) in Southern Florida (2011, background): “Although the exact circumstances that lead to introduction and establishment of Burmese pythons in Florida will never be proven, careful consideration of biological support for various introduction scenarios can provide information that is valuable for preventing additional introductions of Burmese ”
Birds Consumed by the Invasive Burmese Python (Python molurus bivittatus) in Everglades National Park, Florida, USA (2011, background): “Despite continuing discussions over the potential northward spread of these pythons by Rodda et al. (2009) and Pyron et al. (2008), Federal species recovery plans should seriously consider and address this novel threat in future plans.”
