“…Knowing biomarkers that are related to reproductive stages could be useful in specific conservation programs, for example in ecosystem management. Including endemic plant conservation strategies is necessary to increase the populations of European wild rabbit and, in turn, the resilience of the Mediterranean ecosystem [ 39 , 40 ].…”

“…Fuentes et al (1983) also showed that rabbits browse and consume shrub seedlings when another forage offer is scarce. It has been observed that nutrition can limit the abundance and density of this herbivorous species, where plants with a higher amount of crude protein are more consumed (Llobat and Marín-García 2022). In fact, effective vegetation management, including the use of native plants and the use of protein as a limiting factor, can also help increase rabbit density, according to Llobat and Marn-Garca (2022).…”

“…Some wild animal populations seem to be limited by protein supply of their ecosystems. In this case, meeting nutritional requirements would improve adaptive success of wild animals, and specific vegetation management programs could be carried out for the conservation of these animals [ 97 , 98 ].…”
