Absentee Mothering - Not So Absent? Responses of European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) Mothers to Pup Distress Calls

, 2013
Longer-range acoustic parent-offspring communication is widespread, but might be absent in species in which young are hidden in burrows during the mother’s absence.

European rabbits recognise conspecifics in their predators’ diets

acta ethologica, 2018
Rabbits can successfully avoid their enemies by evaluating the risk of predation. They have various defensive strategies, such as morphological adaptations and behaviours patterns, which enable them to perceive their predators and thus reduce the risk of predation.

European rabbit survival and recruitment are linked to epidemiological and environmental conditions in their exotic range.

, 2012
The European rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus, is threatened within its native range, yet it is a highly successful colonizing pest species across its worldwide introduced range, causing large economic losses and widespread environmental degradation.

Arteries of the brain in wild European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus (Linnaeus, 1758).

Folia biologica, 2012
Research into the pattern and variation of brain arteries in wild rabbit involved 43 brains. The main source of blood supply to the brain in rabbit are vertebral arteries and the basilar artery, formed as a result of their anastomosis, as well as ...

Coprophagy in the European Rabbit (Oryctolagus Cuniculus) in Australia.

Australian Journal of Zoology, 1955
Coprophagy is a normal feature in the biology of the wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Australia. The evidence presented shows that coprophagy occurs normally during the daily period of inactivity when rabbits are below ground. When feeding activities commence in the afternoon on the surface, coprophagy ceases.

Latrine Use by the European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

Journal of Mammalogy, 1991
In addition to depositing fecal pellets throughout their range, European rabbits ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ), like several other mammals, deposit feces at specific “latrine” sites. In a free-living island population of rabbits, marked individuals of known age, sex, and social status were observed and their behavior at latrines was recorded.
