Description:

Data for 12 species of leporids (rabbits and hares) indicates that home range size scales allometrically with body mass and is considerably influenced by the positive association between body mass and S, and index of home range overlap. Futhermore, the average area available per conspecific appears to be related to its energy requirements. Becouse behavioral ecology is a key determinant of home range size in many mammals, comparative studies must consider effects of patterns and home range size.
