BROWN, David E.; TRAPHAGEN, Myles B.; LORENZO, Consuelo  and  GOMEZ-SAPIENS, Martha. Distribution, status and conservation needs of the white-sided jackrabbit, Lepus callotis (Lagomorpha). Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2018, vol.89, n.1, pp.310-320. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.22201/ib.20078706e.2018.1.2225.

Although an important game animal and a species of wide distribution, little is known about the natural history of the white-sided jackrabbit (Lepus callotis), its ecological requirements, and limiting factors. The information available suggests that this species may have undergone a reduction in both population numbers and distribution, and may be endangered due to habitat changes. The information presented herein should facilitate proposals for future research, and conservation and management actions.

Keywords : Conservation; Distribution; Lepus callotis.
