Demographic Responses to Experimental Manipulation of an Enclosed Population of Invasive Brown Treesnakes (Boiga irregularis)

Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 3, July 2026.
We evaluated demographic responses of an enclosed population of brown treesnakes to two experimental perturbations: supplemental feeding followed by removal of the adult and sub‐adult cohort 2 years later. Our results indicate that adding food to the system increased the population growth rate by 50% within 6 months and that removing the adults and ...
