A major advancement in the use of radio telemetry has been the development of automated radio tracking systems (ARTS) which allow animal movements to be tracked continuously. A new ARTS approach is the use of a network of simple radio receivers (nodes) that collect radio signal strength (RSS) values from animal-borne radio transmitters. However, the use of RSS-based localization methods in wildlife tracking research is new and analytical approaches critical for determining high quality location data have lagged behind technological developments. This data release contains data used to test the application of analytical filters (signal strength, distance among nodes) to data from real and simulated node networks...

automated radio tracking system,
Animals move to locate important resources such as food, water, and mates. Therefore, movement patterns can reflect temporal and spatial availability of resources as well as when, where, and how individuals access such resources. To test these relationships for a predatory reptile, we quantified the effects of prey abundance on the spatial ecology of invasive brown treesnakes (Boiga irregularis). After toxicant-mediated suppression of a brown treesnake population on Guam, we simultaneously used visual encounter surveys to estimate rodent abundance and radiotelemetry to document movement behavior of surviving snakes located in the Habitat Management Unit (HMU) in Northern Guam, Andersen Air Force Base. The impact...
