Each animal account begins with the complete scientific and common names for the species, followed by a detailed description of appearance and unique morphological characteristics, including a range of standard measurements of adult specimens. Subsequent sections discuss known paleontological data concerning the species, the current state of its taxonomy, and geographic variation. Each account also includes dedicated sectioins on habitat and diet, reproduction and development, ecology, behavior, and management. The definitive work on lagomorphs, this book is an invaluable reference for naturalists, professional biologists, and students.

Download or read book The Ultimate Guide to Small Game and Varmint Hunting written by H. Lea Lawrence and published by Globe Pequot. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North America is blessed with an abundance of small-game animals and birds of assorted types, with most at healthy population levels throughout the country. The habitats of these different species frequently overlap, so hunters chasing after one type of animal often find other types of small game to challenge them as well. In addition, most state game departments do a fine job managing the nation's small-game populations. In turn, we are provided with plenty of hunting opportunities. But small-game hunting is more than just the taking of a fast-running rabbit or hare, trying to outwit a woodchuck, pursuing a quick-thinking squirrel, or attempting to lure an ultra-wily coyote into gun range. No, it's much more than that. It's about walking through an autumn forest with all the colors of the leaves assaulting your senses; it's about observing other wildlife and all its surroundings; it's about hunting alone, if you so desire, or with good friends, and trusted dogs. It helps both the veteran outdoorsman and the novice gain a balance with nature.

Download or read book Australia s War Against Rabbits written by Brian Douglas Cooke and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2014-05-29 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The management of wild rabbits is a vexing problem worldwide. In countries such as Australia and New Zealand, wild rabbits are regarded as serious pests to agriculture and the environment, while in many European countries they are considered an important hunting resource, and are a cornerstone species in Mediterranean ecosystems, modifying habitats and supporting important predator populations such as the Iberian lynx. The introduction of two viral diseases, myxomatosis and rabbit haemorrhagic disease, as biological control agents in Australia has been met favourably, yet their spread in southern Europe threatens natural rabbit populations. Despite this, scientists with very different goals still work together with a common interest in understanding rabbit biology and epidemiology. Australia's War Against Rabbits uses rabbit haemorrhagic disease as an important case study in understanding how animal populations adapt to diseases, caused in this case by an RNA virus. Looking at rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) in an ecological framework enables insights into both virus and rabbit biology that are relevant for understanding other emerging diseases of importance to humans. This book provides up-to-date information on recent advances in areas ranging from virus structure and disease mechanics through to the sociological implications of using biological control agents and the benefits to the economy and biodiversity. It is a compelling read for wildlife disease researchers, wildlife managers, rabbit biologists, people working in the public health and education sectors, and landholders and farmers with experience or interest in RHD.
Download or read book Hare written by Simon Carnell and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once described as the “fastest, hairiest, most lascivious, and most melancholy” of mammals, the hare was also believed to never close its eyes, occasionally grow horns, and have the ability to change its sex. More than just a speedy, but lazy, character in popular children’s fables, the hare is remarkable for its actual behavior and the intriguing myths that have developed around it. Here, Simon Carnell examines how this animal has been described, symbolized, visually depicted, and sought for its fur, flesh, and exceptional speed. Carnell tracks the hare from ancient Egypt, where a hieroglyph of a hare stood for the concept of existence itself, to Crucifixion scenes, Buddhist lore, and Algonquin creation myths, to the serial works of Joseph Beuys, and even to an art installation in a Dutch brothel. The hare shows up in both surprising and expected places—it was the principal subject of the first hunting treatise, it appears in the first signed and dated picture of a single animal, and it was credited in early medicine with the most curative properties of any animal. Combining recent natural history with an extensive and richly illustrated focus on visual art, Hare is highly accessible and packed with details about a historically fascinating animal.
