研究了自由生活的野兔群体的社会组织。离散的繁殖群体被确认为由共享地下避难所的个体组成。男性试图通过以下方式最大限度地接近女性：a）占据大的家庭范围; B）通过领土防御间接捍卫女性的访问权; c）捍卫女性直接进入群体。女性捍卫组内的巢址访问。由于有限的家域重叠，雌性之间的组间相互作用是罕见的。观察到男性打断女性对女性的攻击，这表明两性之间存在利益冲突。成年-青少年的攻击主要是性内的;在某些情况下，女性比男性发起更多的互动，而男性则采取保护角色。
The social organisation of a free‐living population of wild rabbits was examined. Discrete breeding groups were recognised which consisted of individuals who shared access to underground refuges. Males attempted to maximise their access to females by a) occupying large home ranges; b) defending female access indirectly through territorial defence; c) defending female access directly within groups. Females defended nest site access within groups. Intergroup interactions between females were rare because of limited home range overlap. Interruption of female‐female aggression by males was observed suggesting that conflicts of interest arose between the sexes. Adult‐juvenile aggression was primarily intra‐sexual; females initiated more interactions than males who adopted a protective role in some cases.
