Aim
When introduced species invade new environments, they often overlap with
native species currently occupying those spaces, either spatially
through suitable habitat or environmentally through their realized
niches. The goal of this research is to determine the overlap between
native New England cottontail (Sylvilagus transitionalis ) and
introduced eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus ) to identify
potential areas of invasion by the eastern cottontail and potential
areas of refuge for New England cottontail from eastern cottontail.
