Reptilian pathogens of the Florida everglades: the associated costs of Burmese pythons.(environmental risk assessment of invasive species)(Report)
Abstract
The predation activity of the invasive Burmese python (Python molurus bivitattus) was evaluated using probability and the economic costs associated with current federal and state values for endangered species. The objective was to provide a realistic valuation of the associated costs of Burmese python predation in southern Florida ecosystems for use as both a policy and management tool. Once valuation estimates were generated, the paper offers certain policy and enforcement recommendations to help address this growing problem.
Key Words: invasive species, economic valuation, Burmese python, Bayesian probability
