The data set consists of 2 spreadsheets from Airsoft Electric Gun (AEG) trials on brown treesnakes. AEG snake wound data contains AEG results from guns equipped with 0.39 gram ammunition (plastic pellets ) that were fired at dead and live snakes from distances of 4, 8, and 12 m to measure tissue-penetration depth, and noted if (a) the pellet was lodged inside the peritoneal cavity, (b) the pellet had completely passed through and left the body, (c) the pellet appeared to have damaged the vertebral column, (d) ribs were broken, and (e) any internal organs appeared to be damaged. AEG live snake ballistic data contains information on limited AEG trials with live snakes shot at distances of 4, 8, and 12 m and their behavioral responses when hit with 0.39 gram ammunition.

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.

This data was collected as part of a larger project to examine predator-prey interactions between invasive Brown Treesnakes (Boiga irregularis, predator) and native prey species at a study site located in a peri-urban area of Andersen Air Force base in Guam, USA. This dataset includes two datasets. One dataset contains 22 columns and includes data collected on Brown Treesnakes captured between 23 December 2019 and 03 October 2022 during nocturnal surveys. The second dataset that contains 10 columns that describe 1240 individual trees at the study site that served as our sampling unit for the surveys.

This file describes three datasets used to evaluate individual traits in brown treesnakes and how they affect susceptibility to toxicant applications. This file references three data sets that include 'Guam GROUND', SURVTOX', and 'HMU NWFN TRT.' Guam GROUND reference to snakes encountered during visual surveys on Guam and whether they were located on the ground or arboreal. SURVTOX refers to a known fate study of telemetered snakes that either survived or died during an application of toxic baits. HMU NWFN TRT refers to the demography of snakes captured pre and post-toxicant treatment. The specific details of toxicant treatments and survey methods are described in the associated manuscript: Nafus et al. 2019. Behavior, size, and body condition predict susceptibility to management and reflect post-treatment frequency shifts in an invasive snake. Global Ecology and Conservation: 21: e00834.

Accidentally introduced to Guam, the brown treesnake (BTS) has extirpated nearly all native forest birds and imposed cost millions of dollars in economic damages annually. Acetaminophen is a safe and effective oral toxicant for invasive BTS, and an automated aerial delivery system (ADS) has been developed for landscape-scale distribution and snake suppression. An 80 milligram dose has proven 100% lethal for most BTS; however, there have been no previous trials that compared internal versus external placement of the oral toxicant on the bait and how that affects mortality of individuals. This study compared mortality following exposure to three treatments: placement of the toxicant inside a dead mouse bait, placement of the toxicant on the surface of a dead mouse bait, and water soaked (rainfall exposed) toxicants on the surface of a dead mouse bait. External placement of the toxicant was found to be as effective as internal placement.

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.
