Florida contains more exotic amphibians and reptiles than any other U.S. state. Illustrated species accounts detail the history and nature of each, the mode of dispersal, natural history, and present-day habitat and geographic distribution in the state. The impact of these animals is measured by their presence in natural systems of Florida and predator-prey interactions with native and other exotic species. The authors
update the list of the documented exotic species in Florida and provide a progress report on new and published natural history information for each established species. An afterword examines the role people have played in the success of these species. | |

| | | $I"On its own, it is an effective introduction to the issues
surrounding exotic invasions and an interesting overview of the herp species that have invaded Florida. As a reference, it is an important collection of data and an expedient source of references for exploring the issues in detail. Whether you are an amateur herper or a professional scientist, this book will be an interesting and valuable addition to a collection of books on regional herpetofauna."$I--Steven M.
