Data for: Successful management of invasive rats across a fragmented landscape

This dataset is from the manuscript "Successful management of invasive rats across a fragmented landscape" and provides the details on snap trap and tracking card data in a broadscale rat removal effort 2011-2015 in the Upper Waiakea Forest Reserve on the Island of Hawai‘i. It describes the successful trapping efforts as well as long term tracking data, which allow us to describe patterns of habitat use of non-native vertebrate species in these naturally fragmented forests in Hawaii.

Methods
All methodological details are provided in the paper. In short, we monitored 34 forest fragments (kipuka) on the windward NE slope of Mauna Loa Volcano within the Upper Waiakea Forest Reserve on the Island of Hawai‘i. We selected 16 of these kipuka for rat removal using snap traps distributed within the kipuka as well as along the fragment edges. We also used ink tracking cards to monitor activity.
