Habitat availability and density estimations for the Japanese hare by fecal pellet counting
Article Abstract:
Fecal pellet counts were conducted to understand and estimate their preferred habitats and densities. Hare densities and habitat availability were higher in open-tree-canopy habitats with a dense ground cover of herbs and grasses and seven Japanese cedar plantation sites showed significant correlation with fecal pellet density indicating that dense herbs and grasses were well-used hare habitats.

Is size of fecal pellets a reliable indicator of species of leporids in the southern rocky mountains?
Article Abstract:
Usage of size of fecal pellets to identify leporid species in the Southern Rockies by researchers is highlighted. Results concluded that this method is suitable to study distribution or abundance of snowshoe hares but inadequate to identify leporids species.

Genetic structure of populations of European brown hare: Implications for management
Article Abstract:
The decline in the population of European brown hare is studied by evaluating its association with diminishing overall fitness due to reduced genetic variability. The extent of population differentiation is estimated.
