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.
