Which statement best analyzes the impact of the Burmese python on the Florida Everglades region? (1 point)

Question

The growth of the Burmese python population has resulted in a severe decline in the reproductive success of turtles.
The growth of the Burmese python population has resulted in severe declines in native mammal species.
The Burmese python has caused minimal ecological change in the Florida Everglades region because its food preference is not dominant in the Everglades.

Answer 1

The statement that best analyzes the impact of the Burmese python on the Florida Everglades region is: The growth of the Burmese python population has resulted in severe declines in native mammal species.

This accurately reflects research findings which indicate that the introduction and proliferation of Burmese pythons in the Everglades have led to significant declines in several native species, particularly mammals, as pythons have become top predators in the ecosystem.
