Galápagos had no native amphibians. Then it was invaded by hundreds of thousands of frogs
Scientists are only beginning to grasp the scale of the issue and understand what impact the tree frogs may have on the islands’ rare wildlife

"Invasive rodents are hard to count, so I used hierarchical statistical models to estimate numbers directly from removal data. This provides a tool for on-the-ground management, with examples on coypus in France and muskrats in the Netherlands." - @oaggimenez.bsky.social
