Abstract: Abstract Systematic monitoring of individuals and their abundance over time has become an important tool to provide information for conservation. For genetic monitoring studies, noninvasive sampling has emerged as a valuable approach, particularly so for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1722
Abstract: In northern latitudes, species that have adapted to snow cover by molting and changing pelage color will be particularly vulnerable to climate change, as predation levels may increase due to a mismatch with background coloration.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s004420100683
Abstract: In this study, we demonstrate that the mountain hare and roe deer compete with each other. This was determined using "natural experiments" of populations found in sympatry and allopatry on the islands along the west… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10344-019-1331-1
Abstract: While the occurrence and function of vocalisation by pikas has been studied (genus Ochotona), little is known about vocalisation by hares (genus Lepus). In this study, we investigate the vocalisation activity of mountain hare (Lepus… read more here.
