Rabbit populations and game management: the situation after 15 years of rabbit haemorrhagic disease in central-southern Spain (2008, background): “…in ecotones between open and shrubcovered areas, which allow them to feed and avoid predators by moving from one habitat to another at different times of the day (Rogers and Myers 1979; Moreno et al. 1996; Villafuerte and Moreno 1997; Fa et al. 1999; Lombardi et al. 2003; Virgós et al. 2003).”
Identifying suitable habitat for dispersal in Bonelli’s eagle: An important issue in halting its decline in Europe (2005, background): “In this type of habitats rabbits take refuge in one of the patches and feed in the other and reach here their highest densities (Lombardi et al., 2003).”
Complex habitats may not always benefit prey: linking visual field with reef fish behavior and distribution (2007, background): “The quality of a habitat is linked to predation risk (e.g. Candolin & Voigt 2001, Lombardi et al. 2003, Mandelik et al. 2003), and to fitness (Olsson et al. 2002).”
Wild rabbit restocking for predator conservation in Spain (2004, background): “It has three main biotopes: sand dunes, marshland and scrubland (Valverde, 1958; Castroviejo, 1993), with rabbits occurring mainly in the latter (Lombardi et al., 2003).”
Long-term decline of the European wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in south-western Spain (2007, background): “Although some net loss of favourable habitat has occurred, the area still offers enough resources for ensuring a high rabbit carrying capacity (Lombardi et al. 2003).”
Habitat use and spatial behaviour in the European rabbit in three Mediterranean environments (2007, methodology): “Compared to the grassland, the scrubland provided the opposite conditions for rabbits: scrub provides abundant shelter and burrows are small, evenly distributed and less well-used (Lombardi et al., 2003).”
