A quantitative ecologist is bringing machine learning to Florida's battle against the Burmese python - math versus an invasive ambush predator that has so far flouted other control methods.

Researchers are tracking pythons with accelerometers to learn how they move and eat. Burmese pythons are connected with a 90% decrease in mammals in the Florida Everglades. Conservationists use ...

Florida scientists have used machine learning to identify when python-removal surveys are most likely to capture Burmese pythons with the greatest potential to influence population growth. Researchers ...

Deep in the Florida Everglades, a vast and difficult landscape, scientists are trying a new way to find invasive Burmese pythons; they are looking from above. Researchers are testing small drones ...
