This habitat sharing has lead to hybridization and two new species have emerged from it, the Lawrence's Warbler and the Brewster's Warbler. This causes problems because genetic lines between the two warblers become crossed and do not remain pure. In order to protect the future generations of the Golden-winged Warblers lands must be set aside that will consistently be maintained for the preferential habitat of each bird species independently. This will ensure its longevity and prevent further hybridization between these two species.
I found this article very interesting. It reenforces my belief in habitat management as well as habitat conservation. These two warblers show that conservation and management are not separate entities but rather go hand in hand.
