More nonindigenous species occur in Florida, USA, than any other region worldwide and may threaten many of Florida's natural resources. The frequency of new reports mandates the need for regular updates. Herein, we use photographic and specimen vouchers in addition to literature records to provide updated information on verified nonindigenous amphi...

Four species of nonnative crocodilians have been introduced to Florida (all since 1960), one of which is established.

The State of Florida is infamous for having the most introduced (stages 2-5) amphibians and reptiles in the United States. However, there is disagreement regarding their number...
