| Spatial ecology of Iberian lynx and abundance of European rabbits in southwestern Spain | |
| 2001 Series | |
(only part of it): Spatial ecology and diet of Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) and the abundance of its main prey, the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), were studied in southwestern Spain from December 1992 to December 1996 when a decline in rabbit populations occurred. Our objectives were to relate spatial ecology of lynx to rabbit abundance, water availability, and protection from human disturbance. Rabbits were almost the sole prey of lynx; rabbit remains were present in 99.2 % (n=1,171) fo feces analyzed. |
