Common Pain Reliever--Rx for a Biological Migraine?(acetaminophen used to kill brown tree snakes in Guam)(Brief Article)
In 2008, we studied simulated toxicant efficacy to control invasive brown treesnakes (Boiga irregularis) using bait tubes (elongate bait stations that reduce non-target bait take) in a 5-ha enclosure in Guam (U.S. Territory) with a known population of snakes. Instead of toxicants, we ...
Brown tree snakes are causing problems to the people who live on the Island of Guam(关岛).The snakes can grow to 10 feet in length.They hide from bright light during the day.At night, they come out looking for food.They climb trees and telephone poles.They slither(蜿蜒地滑行)through ...
The brown tree snake was first noticed along Guam's southern shore near Apra Harbor.It then spread,somewhat slowly, until it occupied the entire island by 1970.Guam has no native snakes and no native predators that could have controlled tree snake numbers. Instead,the native vertebrates were al...
day but is confined to one cave on Guam.The swifitiet builds nests on the walls of caves using its own saliva and mud to adhere the nest to the cave wall. Despite this unusual habit,swifitiet are still vulnerable to tree snake predation,as tree snakes can easily capture prey in total ...
Brown treesnakes (Boiga irregularis) are an invasive species to the island of Guam. Because they have extirpated the native forest avifauna on Guam and are a threat to other Pacific islands, the development of efficient and cost-effective methods to control them is desired. We compared the eff...
by the brown tree snake could spread. Snakes have been sighted on many other Pacifi c islands, possibly having arrived through cargo originating in Guam. Numerous sightings on the island of Saipan suggest a snake population may be established on this island too. ...
