PALATABILITY OF TWO RODENTICIDE PRODUCTS: FIELD-BASED ASSESSMENT AT PALMYRA ATOLL

This dataset describes the palatability, for the land crab Cardisoma carnifex , of two rodenticide bait products available for conservation use in the U.S.: “25W” containing 25 ppm brodifacoum as the active ingredient, and “D50” containing 50 ppm diphacinone as the active ingredient. Both rodenticide bait products were found to be palatable to rats and crabs when presented alongside three commonly available food items: coconut endosperm (meat), the meristematic tissue of young coconut palms, and the fleshy mesocarp of Pandanus fruit.本数据集描述了两款适用于美国保育用途的灭鼠饵剂对陆蟹（Cardisoma carnifex）的适口性：其中"25W"的有效成分为25 ppm溴鼠隆（brodifacoum），"D50"的有效成分为50 ppm敌鼠酮（diphacinone）。研究表明，当将这两款灭鼠饵剂与三种常见食物一同提供时，它们对大鼠与蟹类均具有适口性，这三种食物分别为椰子胚乳（椰肉）、幼椰子棕榈的分生组织以及露兜树果实的肉质中果皮。
