Higher breeding success percentages in areas of abundant untapped resources coupled with a nomadic gene in a peripheral sub population to the original?

I was shocked to see the report from Lake McClellan. Unless apple snails have spread just as quickly, I would love to know what they are eating. They were restricted to FL for so long that I would also love to know what’s driving this expansion. They can still be tricky to find in FL so I don’t feel like overpopulation there is the answer.  
Fingers crossed that Lubbock is next! :)

I have never seen a species spread so fast in Texas as the Limpkins (excepting Collared-Dove, Starlings, and maybe Cattle Egrets).  I would the critical drought Mexico and CA are doing to drive these sedentary birds blindly northward....Healton Lake is just southwest of our old family ranch.  As a kid I spend endless hours fishing and birding that then "mudhole".  I would never expect this rarity there.  I am glad Don found it.  He has sure paid his dues for Carter Co.
