Results for sex‐specific generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) of annual reproductive success (ARS) for Brown Treesnake (Boiga irregularis) from a geographically closed population on Guam. GLMMs were run for (A) complete sex‐specific data sets (male = 661 records; female = 735 records) and (B) sex‐specific data sets filtered by SVL to include only likely adult records (male = 312 records; female = 367 records). Sex‐specific ARS was modeled as a linear function of four annual fixed effects (“Parameter”): average body condition index (“BCI”), standardized average snout–vent length (“SVL”), the number of times the individual was captured in a baited trap (“Trappability”), and the individual's genome‐wide estimate of inbreeding (“Inbreeding”). GLMMs also included individual and year of sampling as random effects (not shown). GLMMs employed a Poisson error distribution with a log‐link

Significance of fixed effects was assessed with likelihood ratio tests of the global model containing the effect of interest against a null model without the effect, with significant p‐values in bold (χ 2, α = 0.05). Estimates and standard errors are reported for effects in the global model to avoid overestimation of effect sizes.

Abbreviations: Estimate, statistical value; LRT, log‐likelihood ratio; p, p‐value; SE, standard error.
