Coats of Variable Hue in Tunisian Hares (Genus Lepus): Population Genetics and Mitochondrial Phylogenetics for Species Delimitation [PDF]

Animals
In Africa, hares (Lepus spp.) show a high variability in external phenotypes. Species identification, delimitation, and distinction are difficult, due to the generally shallow evolutionary divergence of species, high intraspecific phenotypic variability,

Survival, movements, home range size and dispersal of hares after coursing and/or translocation.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Hare coursing is the pursuit of a hare by dogs for sport. In recent years in Ireland, between 2,900 to 3,700 hares have been caught from the wild (under Government license) and held in captivity for up to 8 weeks. Hares are given a head start and coursed

Influence of age, habitat elevation, and distance to a thermal power plant on pathomorphological findings in the European brown hare (Lepuseuropaeus P.)

Veterinary Quarterly, 2023
The lifespan of the European hare (Lepus europaeus P.) is affected by a number of negative factors, including pollutants. In this paper, the individual and joint influence of age and habitat (elevation and distance from the thermal power plant - TPP) on ...

First findings of brown hare (Lepus europaeus) reintroduction in relation to seasonal impact. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
In Europe, brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations have been declining steadily since the 1970s. Gamekeepers can help to support brown hare wild populations by releasing cage-reared hares into the wild.

The IgA of hares (Lepus sp.) and rabbit confirms that the leporids IgA explosion is old and reveals a new case of trans-species polymorphism

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
BackgroundImmunoglobulin A (IgA) is the mammalian mucosal antibody, providing an important line of defense against pathogens. With 15 IgA subclasses, the European rabbit has an extremely complex IgA system, strikingly more complex than most other mammals,

Seasonal Effects of Habitat on Sources and Rates of Snowshoe Hare Predation in Alaskan Boreal Forests. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Survival and predation of snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) has been widely studied, yet there has been little quantification of the changes in vulnerability of hares to specific predators that may result from seasonal changes in vegetation and cover. We
