The major portion of available forage consisted of Olea europaea var. sylvestris, Pistacia lentiscus and Cistus ssp. The first two species are the main food resources in late summer and early autumn, the critical period for agrimi nutrition, and the only species with crude protein (CP) content exceeding maintenance requirements of agrimi. Grasses contained the highest level of neutral detergent fibre (NDF) among all plant categories in all seasons. Herbaceous species had the lowest level of lignin and shrubs the highest. In vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) of herbaceous species was > 50\% only in spring. During summer only Olea europaea produced sufficient forage with digestibility c. 50\%. Future management must be directed toward maintaining a balance between vegetation productivity and grazing pressure. Maintaining the agrimi population at grazing capacity would allow an increase of productivity of palatable species. The seeding of palatable native herbs would provide nutritious feed for the agrimi and reduce the grazing impact. Continuous monitoring of the agrimi population, vegetation and soil trends is considered indispensable.}, keywords = {Greece, island ecosystem, Mammalia, nutrition, Wild goat}, author = {Sfougaris, A.I. and Nastis, A.S. and Papageorgiou, N.K.} } @proceedings {11789, title = {Density of the european hare (Lepus europaeus Pallas, 1778) in relation to habitat and population management in central and western Greece}, year = {2001}, month = {3-7 September 2001}, pages = {146}, address = {Lemesos, Cyprus}, keywords = {KAPE Mammalia}, author = {Sfougaris, A.I. and Pardalidis, T. and Giannakopoulos, A. and Goumas, H. and Anni, A.} } @article {9200, title = {Genetic structure of Greek brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations as revealed by MtDBNA RFLP-PCR analysis: Implications for conserving genetic diversity}, journal = {Biological ConservationBiological Conservation}, volume = {101}, number = {2}, year = {2001}, note = {Cited By (since 1996): 11Export Date: 6 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Avise, J.C., (1994) Molecular Markers, Natural History and Evolution, , Chapman and Hall, New York; Bernatchez, L., Savard, L., Dodson, J., Pallota, D., Mitochondrial DNA sequence heterogeneity among James-Hudson Bay anadromous coregonines (1988) Finnish Fish Research, 9, pp. 17-26; Biju-Duval, C., Ennafaa, H., Dennebouy, N., Monnerot, M., Mignotte, F., Soriguer, R.C., El Gaaied, A., (...), Mounolou, J.-C., Mitochondrial DNA evolution in lagomorphs: Origin of systematic heteroplasmy and organization of diversity in European rabbits (1991) Journal of Molecular Evolution, 33, pp. 92-102; Casane, D., Dennebouy, N., De Rochambeau, H., Mounolou, J.C., Monnerot, M., Nonneutral evolution of tandem repeats in the mitochondrial DNA control region of lagomorphs (1997) Molecular Biology and Evolution, 14, pp. 779-789; Caughley, G., Gunn, A., (1996) Conservation Biology in Theory and Practice, , Blackwell Science, Cambridge, Massachusetts; Felsenstein, J., PHYLIP (Phylogeny inference package), version 3.5c, p. 1993. , Seattle: Department of Genetics, University of Washington; Fickel, J., Lieckfeld, D., Pitra, C., Analyse der genetischen diversita?t und struktur in benachbarten populationen des feldhasen (Lepus europaeus, Pallas 1778) (1999) Z.

Data analysis revealed extensive haplotype diversity (42 out of 56 haplotypes were unique) within and among wild populations. Haplotype diversity was equally distributed within and between geographical regions, while significant genetic structuring was evident from heterogeneity of haplotype frequencies among sampling sites. Specific mtDNA profiles clearly differentiated reared from wild individuals and proved highly indicative for reared bares from past releases caught within wild populations. MtDNA analysis suggests the introgression of allochthonous gene pools into the native populations. To conserve indigenous genotypes and to prevent loss of genetic diversity, restocking operations should be stopped and an appropriate management adjusted to the local population dynamics should be developed. {\textcopyright} 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
