1.The maps can also be used to study things like ecotones, the boundary between two habitat types, species dispersal and the migration patterns, and even determine when a species was found in a new area.

这些地图还可以用来研究过渡带，两种栖息地类的边界，物种扩散和迁移模式，甚至可以确定个物种何时在个新的地区被发现。

国家公园的亚热带气候能够维系来自世界各地的物种生存，公园边界遍布生态过渡带，即各种生物栖息地的过渡区域，这些生态过渡带将当地的淡水草原、岩石松林地、红树林等连接起来。
