TL;DR: It is suggested that predation by pythons has resulted in dramatic declines in mammals within ENP and that introduced apex predators, such as giant constrictors, can exert significant top-down pressure on prey populations.

TL;DR: For example, Lockwood et al. as mentioned in this paper synthesize information across taxa and research disciplines to document the exotic pet trade's contribution to vertebrate biological invasions, and show recent and substantial worldwide growth in the number of non-native animal populations introduced via this invasion pathway, which demonstrates a strong potential to increase the numbers of invasive animals in the future.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed trait-based models for the establishment and impact stages of freshwater fish invasion, and used them to screen non-native species common in international trade, and determined which species in the aquarium, biological supply, live bait, live food and water garden trades are likely to become invasive.

TL;DR: The nonindigenous Eurasian Collared-Dove (Streptopelia decaocto) most likely invaded southeastern Florida from the Bahamas in the early 1980s and established a breeding population in Dade County by 1982.

TL;DR: In this article, the terrestrial amphibians and reptiles of Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire, together with the Venezuelan islands of LosMonjes, Islas Aves, Los Roques, La Orchila and La Blanquilla are listed.
