STUDIES ON ECOLOGY OF LEPUS CAPENSIS IN SHANXI PROVINCE

Some ecological data about the Cape hare(Lepus capensis) in Shanxi province,northern China,are given in this paper.(1) Relative numbers of the hares in different areas and habitats were reflected through counting fecal pellets on quadrat.(2) The hare's damage to agriculture found mainly expression in nibbling at seedings of wheat and soybean,but the value of economic loss from the damage was usually less than that of the hares as hunting animals in terms of money.Because of lower density of populations,in the greater part of the province,the damage could hardly be detected.(3) In the study areas,the chief predatory mammal proved to be Vulpus vulpus,and birds to be Falco cherrug and Aquila chrysaetos.The exteral parasites of the hare included Haemaphysalis longicornis,Dermacentor sinicus and D.silvarum;Helenicula olsufievi,Straelensia sp.and Schoengastia sp.were also found.The common internal parasite was the tapeworm.
