The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a cooperative agreement for research aimed at addressing the ecological threat posed by Brown treesnakes (BTS). This grant is specifically designed for a CESU-affiliated partner to conduct detailed modeling studies on the feasibility of eradicating and suppressing BTS populations. The research will focus on developing and evaluating multi-faceted control programs within fenced conservation areas. A key objective is to determine the restoration potential of affected ecosystems following a significant reduction in BTS abundance. This funding opportunity seeks to generate critical data and strategies to inform long-term conservation and ecological recovery efforts in regions impacted by invasive BTS.
