dc.description.abstractThis study was based on 125 specimens of hares collected from 61 different localities in Turkey between 2006 and 2010. We present diagnostic characters, pelage coloration, external, cranial and phallic measurements, skull and phallus features, hair structure, and collection localities of hares from Turkey. Additionally, we analyze morphometric variations of 5 regional populations according to the physiography/orography of the study area. Among the morphometric variables, 10 characters (weight, tail length, basal length, condylobasal length, rostral breadth, height of braincase, foramen incisiva length, occipitonasal length, profile length, and mandible length) are found to be significantly different between the populations (ANOVA, P < 0.01). Principal component analysis of 22 morphometric measurements is performed, and 71.56% of total variance is explained through 5 principle components. The Thracian specimen is distinguished from other populations on the first 2 canonical discriminant functions and the cluster dendrogram. The hair structure, as examined by scanning electron microscope, is found to be flattened and imbricate. Our Anatolian specimens are discussed at the subspecies level, comparing them to the relevant literature, and it is concluded that Lepus europaeus in Anatolia is represented by only one subspecies, Lepus europaeus syriacus.en_US

dc.description.sponsorshipWe would like to thank Prof Dr Yuksel Coskun (Dicle University) for allowing us to examine his specimen from the Karacadag-Sanliurfa locality and the hunters for shooting the hares for this study. We would also like to thank Assist Prof Dr Ozgur Kockan (Suleyman Demirel University) for his valuable contributions to the statistics editing of the manuscript. This study was part of Yasin Demirbas' PhD project, which was supported by Kirikkale University's Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit. The Turkish Nature Protection and National Parks Directorate (Turkish Forestry and Waterworks Ministry, Ankara) issued a hunting and research permit.en_US
