• What parts of the US mainland are climatically suitable for invasive alien pythons spreading from Everglades National Park? (2009, background): “Invasive alien reptiles have received less attention than other vertebrate taxa (Lever 2003), although the Brown Treesnake’s (Boiga irregularis) invasion of Guam has been widely reported (Savidge 1987; Rodda et al. 1999).”
