Summary
We evaluated the nesting response of Hawai‘i ‘Elepaio (Chasiempis sandwichensis; Monarchidae), a generalist insectivore, to the removal of black rats using rodenticide in a before-after-control-impact study in high and low, mesic montane habitat recovering from long-term damage from introduced ungulates and weeds. We monitored nesting activity during 2015–2016 before applying diphacinone bait in 2017 to remove rats from two 700 x 700-m treatment plots that were paired with two non-treatment plots. We continued monitoring through July 2017. This data set includes a summarized account of Elepaio nests during the 2015, 2016, and 2017 breeding seasons. There is a unique identifier for each nest ('NestID '), along with information on the [...]
Summary
We evaluated the nesting response of Hawai‘i ‘Elepaio (Chasiempis sandwichensis; Monarchidae), a generalist insectivore, to the removal of black rats using rodenticide in a before-after-control-impact study in high and low, mesic montane habitat recovering from long-term damage from introduced ungulates and weeds. We monitored nesting activity during 2015–2016 before applying diphacinone bait in 2017 to remove rats from two 700 x 700-m treatment plots that were paired with two non-treatment plots. We continued monitoring through July 2017. This data set includes a summarized account of Elepaio nests during the 2015, 2016, and 2017 breeding seasons. There is a unique identifier for each nest ('NestID '), along with information on the site, fate (0=fledged, 1=failed), elevation and whether the nest was on a site treated for black rat removal ('impact'), or a non-treated ('control') plot. Also listed for each entry is the day of the year the nest was found, 'DayFound'; the day it was last known to be active, 'DayLastPresent'; the day it was last checked, 'DayLastChecked', and the age of the nest when found, 'AgeFound'.

Data were collected to estimate the differences in 'Elepaio nest success in rodenticide treated and un-treated plots.These data can be used to describe 'Elepaio nest success in the described location. They were specifically formatted for analysis using the Nest model from program MARK via the R package 'RMark'.
