• Identifying plausible scenarios for the establishment of invasive Burmese pythons (Python molurus) in Southern Florida (2011, background): “Very large female pythons are capable of producing large clutches (80–107 eggs; Reed and Rodda 2009; Rochford et al. 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): “For example, two anoles (Anolis extremus Garman 1887 and A. ferreus [Cope 1864]) were claimed to be introduced (stage 2) during the 1990s in Fort Myers, Lee County (Bartlett 1994; Bartlett & Bartlett 1999), and both species continue to be reported (see Meshaka et al. 2004; Kraus 2008).”
• Species‐based risk assessments for biological invasions: advances and challenges (2013, methodology): “It has been developed for the United States and applied to snakes (Reed & Rodda, 2009).”
• The global diversity and distribution of lizard clutch sizes (2020, background): “Among squamates (lizards and snakes), clutch sizes vary across two orders of magnitude, from 1 to over 100 eggs in some large snakes (Reed & Rodda, 2009; Vitt & Caldwell, 2013) and to over 90 eggs in some chameleons (Meiri, 2018; Tilbury, 2010; Zug, 2013).”
• Birds Consumed by the Invasive Burmese Python (Python molurus bivittatus) in Everglades National Park, Florida, USA (2011, methodology): “We used measurements of $260 cm TL for females and $200 cm TL for males provided by Reed and Rodda (2009), to ascertain if pythons were mature.”
