Plot locations for "rat mark-recapture in rodenticide treatment and non-treatment plots, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, fall 2016 and spring 2017"

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 04:21 AM | Dataset Last Updated: August 27, 2020 at 12:00 AM
This is a selected data set that outlines the plot areas used to assess the impacts of rodenticide treatment on black rat (Rattus rattus) abundance within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (HAVO). These data provide the spatial reference for a larger work describing the response of native species to rat control. Included are the corner boundaries for the 700x700 m (49 ha) study plots and each grid point/station within the centralized 300x300 m (9 ha) sub-plot at both the treatment and non-treatment site. Traps were placed 50 m apart, one at each station in the trapping grid, for a total of 49 traps in each of the sub-plots. The rodenticide treatment and native species monitoring were conducted using the entire 49 ha plot area at each site.
