摘要: WeinvestigatedthewinterhabitatusebytheEuropeanhare(Lepuseuropaeus)atthemacro-habitat level in a farmland area of southern Tuscany during feeding activity using spot-light counts. Olive tree groves, cereal stubbles and winter cereals were used more than their availability, whereas ploughed fields, alfalfa fallow fields less availability. groves the most used, followed by stubbles. Since approximately 50% over-wintering result economic agreements between hunting district local farmers, study confirms importance this kind agro-environmental measure for hare conservation.
