where, and how individuals access such resources. To test these relationships for a predatory reptile, we quantified the effects of prey abundance on the spatial ecology of invasive brown treesnakes (Boiga irregularis) on Guam. Five months after toxicant-mediated suppression of a brown treesnake po...
During August 2016 at the Brown Treesnake Project laboratory on Guam, we evaluated hobbyゞrade Airsoft Electric Guns (AEGs)—a lower powered, less﹉azardous, and less‐regulated alternative to firearms—for capture and control of small animals, with specific emphasis on invasive brown treesnakes ...

The brown treesnake ( Boiga irregularis ) population on the Pacific island of Guam has reached iconic status as one of the most destructive invasive species of modern times, yet no published works have used genetic data to identify a source population. We used DNA sequence data from multiple ...
the brown tree snake would suffer from a lack of food resources,but the available pool of invasive prey and native lizards maintains tree snake densities.Consequently native species went extinct with no corresponding negative effect on the tree snake. The tree snake even seems to be adapting to ...
