) and the Corsican Hare seems to be fairly similar. Nevertheless, the two species vary in numerous pelage characteristics of taxonomic significance. Among the discriminant features is the color of the basal fringe of the dorsal underfur of adult specimens which is always white in the European Hare and gray in the Corsican Hare. The Corsican Hare is significantly smaller than the European Hare. This can be assessed by measuring the variables head-body, tail, ear, and hind foot length as well as the weight. The two species are also well distinguishable by skull measurements. As regarding to dental characters, the difference between the two speciesis ascertainable in the shape of the posterior contour of the cross section of the first upper incisor, which is concave in the European Hare and smooth or convex in the Corsican Hare.

Various lowland and upland habitats from sea level to elevations of ¢.2400 m on the Mount Etna, Sicily. Densities of Corsican Hares vary due to competition with introduced European Hares that are habitat generalists; e.g. populations of Corsican Hares on the Italian mainland are now restricted to mountainous areas and lowlands and hills where densities of European Hares are low. In Sicily where European Hares are absent, Corsican Hares occur in a variety of natural and artificial lowland habitats such as open grassland, bushy pastures, and cultivated areas. Corsican Hares inhabit Mediterranean maquis (shrubland)—the mosaic of clearings, bushy areas, broadleaved woods, and coastal dunes.

Reproductive activity of Corsican Hares occurs throughout the year, peaking in spring and reaching low levels in winter and summer. Although data are preliminary, dry and cold seasons might have negative influences on the reproduction of the Corsican Hare. Females have an average of two litters per year (maximum of four). Litter size averages 1-5 young.

. The Corsican Hare has been monitored continuously in Italy, including Sicily, since 1997. Its populations are fragmented and scarce on the Italian peninsula, but several protected areas have been created that will help populations to recover. The Corsican Hare is widespread and locally abundant in Sicily. The Sicilian government officially recognized it as a “true” species in 1998, forbidding hunting on the island. Status is unclear in Corsica, but 70% of the samples in a recent genetic study were Corsican Hares. Population and distributional declines of Corsican Hares have been estimated at 50% for continental populations and 38% across the entire distribution, probably from overhunting and introductions of European Hares. The Corsican Hareis legally protected in mainland Italy and Sicily, but differentiation of Corsican Hares and European Hares in the field makes it difficult to manage harvest. In Sicily, a hunting ban on Corsican Hares waslifted in 2004-2005. The Corsican Hare is still a game species in Corsica because it is considered conspecific with the European Hare in France. Major conservation threats to the Corsican Hare are habitat degradation, fragmentation that causes low or absent gene flow among populations, low population densities, competition with introduced European Hares, and overhunting. Captive breeding programs of Corsican Hares are being carried out in mainland Italy and Sicily.
