The spatial behaviour of seven male and five female Apennine hares Lepus corsicanus was studied in a scrub‐wood area of Central Italy, through radiotracking. The median percentage of home‐range overlap was about five times lower between females (< 15%) than between males (75%). Intrasexual aggression was recorded for females, but never for males. No species within the Lepus genus are known to be territorial, whereas we suggest that inter‐individual female intolerance in the Apennine hare may be compatible with territoriality. The Apennine hare is also unusual among hares because it reproduces throughout the year, that is also during food‐poor months, which could have triggered resource defence between females to maximise their reproductive fitness.

亚平宁兔子的空间行为:女性在领土上吗?
通过无线电跟踪,在意大利中部的一片灌木林地区研究了7个雄性和5个雌性亚平宁野兔Lepus corsicanus的空间行为。女性(<15%)之间的家庭范围重叠的中位数百分比大约比男性(75%)低五倍。记录到女性有性侵犯行为,而男性则没有。Lepus属中没有任何物种是属地的,但我们建议亚平宁兔子中个体间的女性不宽容可能与属地兼容。亚平宁野兔在野兔中也很不寻常,因为它全年都会繁殖,也就是在食物匮乏的月份,这可能会触发雌性之间的资源防御,从而最大限度地提高其生殖健康。
