Visual Surveys and Morphometrics of Brown Treesnakes in Mariana Swiftlets caves on Guam
March 10, 2021
Visual survey data for brown treesnakes from caves with and without swiftlets. Each record (line) represents the snake sightings that occurred during a block of time, typically 1 hour at one site by searcher(s) during one search (i.e. one date). Snakes removed from caves and adjacent areas during visual surveys were then necropsied. Each record (line) represents necropsy results for a given individual.

Locally abundant, endangered Mariana swiftlets impact the abundance, behavior, and body condition of an invasive predator
Invasive predators are known to have negative consumptive and non-consumptive effects on native species, but few examples show how the abundance of native prey may influence an established invasive predator. We compared invasive brown treesnakes (Boiga irregularis; BTS) found in caves occupied by endangered Mariana swiftlets (Aerodramus bartschi) to snakes found in nearby forests and caves without
