Guam, Morphometric and height data for brown treesnakes were detected at four sites on Guam, 2006 - 2023
May 24, 2024
These data were collected as part of several studies or efforts to remove brown treesnakes (Boiga irregularis) across three sites located in Guam, USA and one site in Cocos Island (Dano), Guam, USA. The various goals of projects were distinct and these data were applied to a more intensive, cross site comparison on the height snakes were detected during visual surveys as a function of their size or body condition.

ContextAnimals may adjust their behavior in predictable ways to balance tradeoffs between resource acquisition and survival or fecundity. Microhabitat selection based on individual traits or environmental conditions is one measure of risk–reward tradeoffs by individuals.AimsWe used data from observational and manipulative studies to investigate whether an arboreal snake (brown treesnake...
