Brown Treesnake Project
The brown treesnake is an invasive species that decimated many of Guam’s native vertebrate species. Under the leadership of the Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center (Hawaii) and co-located with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the Guam National Wildlife Refuge, the brown treesnake team works to prevent snakes spreading to other islands, develop and test tools for control efforts on Guam, and...
Brown Treesnake Rapid Response Team
The Brown Treesnake Rapid Response Team (RRT) evaluates snake sightings and quickly deploys when sightings are credible and match a brown treesnake. The RRT is an interagency partnership that cooperatively prevents the spread of brown treesnakes in the United States and territories.
Guam power lines and brown treesnakes are an electric mix
Of all the economic impacts to Guam due to the introduction of the brown treesnake ( Boiga irregularis), the effects on the power infrastructure are the easiest to understand.
Invasive Species We Study: Brown Treesnake
Scientists with the USGS Brown Treesnake project conduct research on this snake species, including control tool development and validation, ecology and ecological impacts, and early detection methods. The program has been expanded to include other invasive reptiles, such as the Burmese Python, Boa Constrictor, and Northern African Python in Florida and invasive watersnakes in California.
