High Overlap in Niches and Suitable Habitat Between an Imperiled and Introduced Cottontail. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe rare and declining New England cottontail (Sylvilagus transitionalis) faces increased competition from an introduced competitor, the eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus). We developed species distribution models using Maxent and niche overlap models using principal component analysis to identify spatial and environmental niche overlap.

Land Use and Climate Change Accelerate the Loss of Habitat and Ecological Corridor to Reeves's Pheasant (Syrmaticus reevesii) in China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACT Human activity and climate change are widely considered to be primarily responsible for the extinction of Galliformes birds. Due to a decline in population, the Reeves's pheasant (Syrmaticus reevesii), a member of the Galliformes family, was recently elevated to first‐class national protected status in China.
