Distribution, status and conservation needs of the white-sided jackrabbit, Lepus callotis (Lagomorpha)

摘要

Although an important game animal and a species of wide distribution, little is known about the natural history of the white-sided jackrabbit ( Lepus callotis ), its ecological requirements, and limiting factors. The information available suggests that this species may have undergone a reduction in both population numbers and distribution, and may be endangered due to habitat changes. The information presented herein should facilitate proposals for future research, and conservation and management actions.
