Summary
The dataset contains 6 columns of data collected during line transect surveys (Line) that evaluated bait cartridge efficacy for Brown Treesnake control on Guam. Two-person teams recorded all bait cartridges observed while walking the center line of transects in the Habitat Management Unit (HMU). Perpendicular distance (DIST (m)) to cartridges from center line was measured to the nearest 0.005 meters.

To evaluate the integrity of aerial applied bait cartridges designed to control Brown Treesnakes on Guam. Appropriate use of data are for estimation of bait cartridge failure. All data in this file are failed cartridges that were observed during our study. We did not collect data on cartridges that successfully deployed.
