Studies on the European hare. 44. Reproduction in European hare in a Danish farmland

Abstract

In order to assess the reasons for a 60% decline of the bag record of hares in Denmark during the last three decades, reproduction in Lepus europaeus Pallas, 1778 was studied in a location in Funen (Denmark) during April 1984 - March 1987. The breeding season was initiated around 1 January and lasted until September - October.
