Description: |
The Bureau of Biological Survey (BBS) Control Methods Research Laboratory in Denver first established a rodent control field station in Honolulu in 1935 to help limit economic losses to the island'ssugarcane industry. Much of the research at the station focused on chemical control agents for rats. During the mid-1990s, the Hawaii field station began working with the U.S. Department of Defense to research methods of damage management for the invasive brown tree snake on Guam. In the early 2000s, the field station initiated a study to evaluate the use of citric acid to manage invasive coqui frogs at many resorts in Hawaii. Today, the Hawaii field station continues to play a major role in researching and addressing existing and emerging invasive vertebrate problems in the region. Materials in this collection document many of the research activities at the station including rodent control efforts and efforts to control invasive species such as coqui frogs and brown tree snakes. In addition to documents, this collection also includes hundreds of slides and photographs of personnel conducting lab and field work in Hawaii and Guam. |
