title: Data from: Genomic pedigree reconstruction identifies predictors of mating and reproductive success in an invasive vertebrate

description: The persistence of an invasive species is influenced by its reproductive
 ecology, and a successful control program must operate on this premise.
 However, the reproductive ecology of invasive species may be enigmatic due
 to factors that also limit their management, such as cryptic coloration
 and behavior. We explored the mating and reproductive ecology of the
 invasive Brown Treesnake (BTS: Boiga irregularis) by reconstructing a
 multigenerational genomic pedigree based on 654 single nucleotide
 polymorphisms for a geographically-closed population established in 2004
 on Guam (N=426). The pedigree allowed annual estimates of individual
 mating and reproductive success to be inferred for snakes in the study
 population over a 14-year period. We then employed generalized linear
 mixed models to gauge how well phenotypic and genomic data could predict
 sex-specific annual mating and reproductive success. Average snout-vent
 length (SVL), average body condition index (BCI), and trappability were
 significantly related to annual mating success for males, with average SVL
 also related to annual mating success for females. Male and female annual
 reproductive success were positively affected by SVL, BCI, and
 trappability. Surprisingly, the degree to which individuals were inbred
 had no effect on annual mating or reproductive success. When juxtaposed
 with current control methods, these results indicate that baited traps, a
 common interdiction tool, may target fecund BTS in some regards but not
 others. Our study emphasizes the importance of reproductive ecology as a
 focus for improving BTS control and promotes genomic pedigree
 reconstruction for such an endeavor in this invasive species and others.
