The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said Burmese pythons in southern Florida represent “one of the most intractable” management issues in the world.
The growing Burmese python population in South Florida and into Everglades National Park and its many unknowns have led scientists to the realization that the eradication of the invasive species in the southern portion of the state is likely impossible.
The new paper looks at findings from over 250 research programs and touches on ways the invasion could be slowed, acknowledging that little is known when it comes toAccording to officials, Burmese pythons are among the most invasive species in the world.“Annual survival has not been well characterized for Burmese pythons, in part because requisite sample sizes and study durations for telemetry-based estimations are logistically and financially challenging,” the paper noted from 2006.
After five months of research, there was a breakthrough when one of the possum collars stopped moving and then started moving again a few hours later. What researchers found was the lack of movement triggered a mortality signal, but when it started moving again, they realized the small mammal had been eaten by a snake.
