摘要

摘要佛罗里达州和加勒比海地区的巨型蟒蛇种群对猎物产生了自上而下的影响，但人们对这种影响仍然知之甚少。我们报告了引入的中美洲蟒蛇在美属维尔京群岛圣克罗伊岛捕食四种本地鸟类的情况，并将这些情况与阿鲁巴岛更详细的食性研究进行了比较，鼓励对圣克罗伊岛上蟒蛇的食性进行详细研究，以更好地了解这种入侵蛇类的捕食对种群和群落的影响。

Birds in the Diet of Invasive Boa imperator on St. Croix, U. S. Virgin Islands

Abstract Giant constrictor populations in Florida and the Caribbean have top-down impacts on prey that are still poorly understood. We report opportunistically documented predation events by introduced Boa imperator (Central American Boa Constrictor) on four species of native birds on St. Croix, U. S. Virgin Islands, compare these to more detailed dietary studies from Aruba, and encourage detailed studies of Boa imperator diet on St. Croix to better understand population and community-level impacts of predation by this invasive snake.
