Herein, we report four established populations of the Madagascar giant day gecko, Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis Gray 1870, in the Florida Keys, Monroe County.
These geckos were released or had escaped from a nearby reptile importer in the early 1990s, but never represented an established population.
The tropical house gecko (Hemidactylus mabouia) was first reported introduced on Crawl Key (Lawson et al., 1991), and presently this species is probably the most abundant terrestrial vertebrate in the Florida Keys and may prove to be a food source for P. m.

The Mascarene Islands of Réunion, Mauritius, and Rodrigues are situated in a line along a submerged ridge, the Seychelles-Mauritius Plateau, located 640 to 800 km east of Madagascar in the western Indian Ocean.
On Rodrigues, the effects of feral animals and shifting cultivation have changed the forest habitats to a savanna with scattered trees, and introduced plants have then taken over the remaining habitats.
On Rodrigues, the remaining habitat is restricted to small patches on the tops of hills, and in steep riversides.

Ehrenberg also relayed an unconfirmed report of a 500-pound blue marlin: “A couple of guys came by the office and told us they had caught a 500-pound blue marlin, but couldn't remember the name of the boat they were on.
East Cape sea conditions were good, except for one windy day, and water temperatures ranged from 83 degrees in the north, down to 77 degrees at the Punta Arena light.
Simpson said the boat fished in excellent weather but bait was hard to make because of heavy concentrations of giant squid, 127 of which were caught in a single night.

Hume pointed out that this situation hasn't always been the case, citing WORM-based backup systems in research versions of UNIX and a cluster-based billing system that AT&T built using Plan 9 as examples of systems that were highly reliable, even under load.
The second problematic system Hume described was a replacement for Gecko that required 6 times the capacity of the original Gecko.
Basically Rodrigo pointed out that in a scenario where the individual nodes are very available/reliable and the network isn't giant, there is no need for scalable lookup and other considerations should take higher priority.
