Offspring, dam, sire pedigree assignments in a managed population of Brown Treesnakes on Guam
April 7, 2022
In this dataset offspring are assigned to a dam and sire using information from single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from previously published pedigree reassignments of Brown Treesnakes within the U.S. Geological Survey's Brown Treesnake study enclosure on Northwest Field of Andersen Air Force Base, Guam (Levine and Yackel Adams 2021 and Nafus 2021) to update the overall pedigree dataset for snakes (2009-2018). Genomic pedigree reconstruction can assign offspring to parents in invasive species for which mating, and reproduction are difficult to study.

Female persistence during toxicant treatment predicts survival probability of offspring in invasive brown treesnakes (Boiga irregularis)
Assessing the long-term efficacy of control methods is a critical component of invasive species management. For example, if traits related to control have significant heritability or are influenced by maternal effects, control methods may lose efficacy over time. The potential for these effects can be evaluated via parent/offspring survival analysis, which concomitantly recasts adaptive management
