Summary

The dataset contains 16 columns of data collected on invasive Brown Treesnakes (Boiga irregularis) at a study site known as the Habitat Management Unit (HMU) in northern Guam. Snakes were fitted with radio-transmitters and teams of 2-4 biologist listened for signals from transmitters every seven days to determine if snakes were alive or dead. Survival data was then modeled in Program MARK to assess the effect of aerially applied toxic baits on snake mortality, including the effect of snake size covariates. In addition, this dataset contains snake capture information from reference sites on Guam that was used to demonstrate that our sample was representative of the size distribution in limestone forest habitat on Guam.

Purpose

The data were collected to assess the effect of toxic bait applications on invasive Brown Treesnake mortality on Guam. It is appropriate to use the data to model snake survival/mortality and as a reference for the size (length and weight) of Brown Treesnakes collected in limestone forest habitat on Guam.
