Amburgey, S., Yackel, A., and Converse, S., 2023, Brown treesnake (Boiga irregularis) scanning and behavioral data collected in experimental setup in Guam for testing remote PIT-tag reader: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9K7MJNT.

Summary

Data fall into three types: 1) individual snake scanning data (PIT tag ID, time stamp, and device) downloaded from readers, 2) individual trait data (sex, size, etc) of tested brown treesnakes, and 3) detailed transcripts of videos of behavioral trial data as snakes interacted with the readers. All data were collected in an experimental arena in Dededo, Guam in August 2021.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and performance of a remote passive integrated transponder (PIT) tag reader device in collecting information on marked brown treesnakes. This dataset can be used to understand the nocturnal behavior of brown treesnakes in an experimental arena and the scanning success of the remote PIT tag reader.
