Habitat management to reduce competitive interactions: case study of native and invading cottontails

Abstract: Habitat management recommendations are often based on best available science determined through retroductive and inductive hypotheses. Such recommendations are not frequently tested, potentially resulting in the implementation of unreliable practices for management of imperiled species. The New England cottontail (Sylvilagus transitionalis) is an imperiled shrubland-obligate species whose recovery efforts include habitat management and restoration. Researchers suggest former best management practices for the s… Show more

“…Regenerating forests did not increase occupancy as anticipated, possibly because of factors such as the disturbance type, extent, and intensity, which affect understory regeneration and the resulting vegetation conditions (Halpern et al 2012, Jean et al 2019, Kellett et al 2023). Selective thinning approaches with higher canopy retention may favor New England cottontail over eastern cottontail (Eline et al 2023). We did not find this relationship in our study, possibly because the spatial scale at which we measured canopy height.…”
