The object of this project is to find out if the species Crotalus
molossus
and
Crotalus basiliscus will hybridize and if they do how long will
it take them to
completely hybridize. This is important because two may become
one.
This
hybridized species could effect the ecosystems as it may become the
dominant
predator of its ecosystem. The data used in this project was
collected
by a
graduate student of the University of Texas in El Paso. The data
obtained by
this comember will then be used in a program to find out if the species
will
hybridize and if so, how long til the species are completely
hybridized.
