Distribution And Behavior Of The Pygmy Rabbits In Nevada |
|
Pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) are the smallest members of the rabbit family in North America. They require dense big sagebrush growing on deep, friable soils for food, shelter, cover from predation, and burrow locations. Big sagebrush vegetation has been heavily impacted by urbanization, agriculture, improper livestock grazing, and wildfires, and the pygmy rabbit has poor dispersal abilities and low reproductive capabilities that result in slow recolonization of available habitat. This project will obtain accurate information on the current distribution, status, ecological requirements, and behavior of the pygmy rabbit in Nevada.
