"This study describes the diet of two populations of European wild rabbits inhabiting a maritime sand dune system and a scrubland, in Central Portugal. Histological analyses were applied to 11 monthly samples of rabbit droppings from each
study site. Results obtained were compared and an evaluation of the quantitative and qualitative similarity of the food consumed by both populations was carried out. In the sand dune habitat grasses formed the bulk of the diet throughout
the year (53%), three species accounting for about 40% of the yearly diet : Dactylis glomerata, Holcus lanatus and Ammophila arenaria, characteristically coastal species. By contrast, in the scrubland, although grasses represented a
substantial part of the diet (38%), dicotyledon species were the most widely eaten (48%), particularly Cistus salvifolius, Cistus crispus and Ulex parviflorus. The diet of rabbits at the sand dune habitat was more varied in winter and
summer, but in the scrubland, a more diversified diet was found in winter and spring. The differences between the food choices of the two populations are discussed on the basis of the preferences of rabbit and the availability of
particular food items, especially regarding endemic or rare plant species."

"The voluntary dry matter intake (DMI) of several grass and legume diets, and the amount of dry matter (DM), nitrogen, fibre, and energy assimilated from each diet (i.e. the digestibility coefficients) are presented for the wild European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus. The DMI may be predicted from DM% and percentage of total nitrogen (on a DM basis) for a high DM diet (90-95%) but the general relationship may stand for fresh forage also.
