Taphonomic analysis of leporid remains obtained from modern Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) scats (2008, background): “, leporids) would have had to the daily diet of prehistoric people, their relevance being used to explain mobility patterns and increase of populations (Hockett and Bicho, 2000; Hockett and Haws, 2002; Stiner et al., 1999, 2000; Villaverde et al., 1996).”
Carnivory, Coevolution, and the Geographic Spread of the Genus Homo (2002, background): “The surge in lagomorph exploitation occurred somewhat earlier in western Asia (compare Byrd and Garrard, 1990; Henry and Garrard, 1988; Klein, 1995; Munro, 1999; Surovell, 1999), yet quite late in North Africa (Smith, 1998) and Iberia (Hockett and Bicho, 2000).”
Approaches to Prehistoric Diet Breadth, Demography, and Prey Ranking Systems in Time and Space (2002, background): “…hunted lagomorphs in the ecosystems where other predators, such as denning wolves, frequently did (Stiner, 1994); Upper Paleolithic people exploited lagomorphs in modest quantities, but Epipaleolithic and Mesolithic people hunted them most of all (but see Hockett and Bicho, 2000, on Portugal).”
