Guam, Andersen Air Force Base housing area visual surveys for brown treesnakes (Boiga irregularis) and associated tree data, December 2019–November 2022.
July 4, 2024
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.

Gape-limited invasive predator frequently kills avian prey that are too large to swallow
Gape-limited predators (e.g., snakes, many fish) are not generally expected to pose a predation threat to prey that are too large for them to swallow. However, the extent to which snakes predate on prey that exceed their gape limitation remains largely unknown. We conducted the first study to investigate the influence of both prey and predator sizes on the frequency of ingestion success...
