Rabbits in the coastal sand dunes : weighed and counted = Konijnen in de kustduinen : geteld en gewogen

Abstract

This study focuses on the factors which determine the size of the breeding population of rabbits, at the end of the winter. The main questions were: What determines the size of the breeding population? Do rabbit numbers increase to carrying capacity set by the food, or are they kept below this limit by e.g. intrinsic responses to density or by predation?
