Summary

The mating and reproductive ecology of the invasive Brown Treesnake (Boiga irregularis) were generated by reconstructing a multigenerational genomic pedigree based on 654 single nucleotide polymorphisms for a geographically-closed population established in 2004 on Guam (N=426). The pedigree allowed annual estimates of individual mating and reproductive success to be inferred for snakes in the study population over a 14-year period. These data are then merged with morphological data on each snake.

Purpose

Brown Treesnake DNA samples were collected to reconstruct genomic pedigrees to allow patterns of mating and reproductive success to be inferred in the wild. Two reproductive ecology parameters critical to development of successful invasive species control are the number of offspring that an individual produces annually (referred to here as annual reproductive success; ARS) and the number of mates with which an individual produces offspring annually (referred to here as annual mating success; AMS). Quantification of average ARS in an invasive species yields an important estimate of the annual ability of a population to replenish itself.
