Rabbits Fur. The more slender hairs of the rabbit (Lepus cuniculus) exhibit a characteristic appearance, owing especially to the medullary layer which presents the appearance of a succession of small, pigmented rectangles, separated by empty spaces of about the same dimensions. In the larger hairs, the medullary stratum may be composed of two or more series of cells arranged as just described. The scales, although thin, are plainly evident, but the mean fibrillary layer is scarcely visible. [Pg.453]

The same conclusions were also recorded for vertebrate herbivores. For example rabbits (Cuniculus europaeus) and hares (Lepus europaeus) clearly prefer the sweet plants and leave the bitter plants almost untouched, at least as long as there is an alternative food source. In conclusion, although taste perception in mammals and insects differs in many aspects, there also some similarities both in anatomy and in the function of the bitter taste perception. A comparison of the effects of alkaloids, as well as of other bitter compounds, will be assisted by further advances in the knowledge of the structure of taste genes and receptors. [Pg.69]

Rabbits and hares are well-known animals to most people. The natural distribution of this group of animals is extensive, occurring worldwide except for Madagascar, Australia, New Zealand, and various Pacific islands. However, humans have deliberately introduced rabbits to these other places, in particular the European rabbit Oryctolagus cunicidus) and the European hare Lepus europaeus). Both of these species typically become pests in their introduced habitats, where their abundance is not well controlled by predators. [Pg.41]

Compound 1080 was also effective against jack-rabbits, foxes, and moles. Baits containing 0.05-0.1% of 1080 on vegetables were used in California to kill jackrabbits (Lepus spp.) and various rodents. The Arctic fox (Alopex lagopus), intentionally introduced onto the Aleutian Islands in 1835, almost eliminated the Aleutian Canada goose (Branta canadensis leucoparlia) by 1967 1080-tallow baits were successfully used to control fox populations. Earthworm baits are used to kill moles. The earthworms are soaked for 45 min in a 2.5%... [Pg.786]
