Natal dispersal in the European wild rabbit

Animal Behaviour, 1996
Abstract Natal dispersal of European wild rabbits,Oryctolagus cuniculus, was studied in a 2-ha outdoor enclosure between 1988 and 1990. The rabbit population had been established in 1984 and by 1988 it was structured into nine territories. The enclosure conditions allowed detailed study of dispersal of individual juveniles from their natal ...

A simple quantitative method for assessing animal welfare outcomes in terrestrial wildlife shooting: the European rabbit as a case study

, 2015
Shooting is widely used to reduce the abundances of terrestrial wildlife populations, but there is concern about the animal welfare outcomes ('humaneness') of these programmes. Management agencies require methods for assessing the animal welfare outcomes

Habitat management as a generalized tool to boost European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus populations in the Iberian Peninsula: a cost-effectiveness analysis

, 2014
The European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus was designated as a protected species in Spain and Portugal following sharp declines in many populations. The ongoing decline highlights the need to implement cost-effective management strategies for this staple ...

A premature stop codon in the TYRP1 gene is associated with brown coat colour in the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

Animal Genetics, 2014
Classical genetic studies in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) suggested the presence of two alleles at the brown coat colour locus: a wild-type B allele that gives dense black pigment throughout the coat and a recessive b allele that in the ...

Bait Consumption by the European Rabbit in Southern England

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1987
The consumption of nontoxic, sliced carrot baits by 10 free-living European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) populations was investigated using Rhodamine B dye and fluorescent acetate floss fibers as bait markers. Total bait consumption was highest after 5-8 days of exposure.

Establishment of the European Rabbit Flea on Macquarie Island.

Wildlife Research, 1983
Since December 1968, 241 600 rabbit fleas (Spilopsyllus cuniculi (Dale)) have been released on Macquarie Island (between Australia and Antarctica) as a vector of myxomatosis for the biological control of rabbits. The flea is now established but is unevenly distributed due to its low rate of reproduction and slow rate of spread, especially into small ...
