Florida scientists are using opossums to secretly track invasive Burmese pythons in the Everglades-and it's working.

Florida scientists have found an unlikely weapon in their fight against invasive Burmese pythons in the Everglades: opossums fitted with GPS collars. The strategy relies on a grim

Burmese pythons provide an integrative contamination signal across terrestrial–aquatic food webs, leveraging long lifespan, whole-prey ingestion, and trophic position to concentrate PFAS in tissues. HPLC–MS/MS profiling of 67 python livers for 30 PFAS found linear PFOS dominant (93% detection;

Are Florida's invasive Burmese pythons are more active in warmer months? Signs show signs of cold tolerance, potentially spreading north.
