Scientists are concerned about the invasion of pythons in the Florida Everglades. Pythons are from Asia and are not native to the Everglades. They eat eggs and birds, many of which are endangered. The snakes were introduced to the Everglades when people released into the wild pet snakes that had grown too large. Very few animals in the Everglades prey on the snakes.

How will scientists be most effective at controlling this invasive species?

Answer: By collecting and removing the snakes from the Everglades.

Step-by-step explanation:

An invasive species is the species which is introduced to a new region either intentionally by humans or by accidentally. These species compete with the native species for resources and may result in the extinction of the native species.

According to the given case, the Pythons are the example of invasive species as they are non-native to Everglades are they are eating eggs, birds which are endangered. The population of such snakes can be controlled by collecting and removing them from Everglades.
