Fecal nitrogen concentration as a nutritional quality indicator for European rabbit ecological studies.
Measuring the quality of the nutritional resources available to wild herbivores is critical to understanding trophic regulation processes. However, the direct assessment of dietary nutritional characteristics is usually difficult, which hampers monitoring nutritional constraints in natural populatio...
