Search for: [Description = "Adjusting the hunting offtake of Brown hare Lepus europaeus \(Pallas, 1778\) populations requires accurate and reliable density estimates. None of the census techniques currently available is appropriate for large\-scale management programs in closed habitats such as the hedgerow system, except the circular\-plot method primarily conceived for forest birds. This technique was adapted to hare counts by replacing the original auditive detection by a visual one, and the radius of the plots was the length of a rotating spotlight beam. Other features of the method relied on results concerning census methodology \(sampling design, number of counts\), hare biology \(mobility, activity pattern\) and the specific problem of hare counts \(detectability, management implications\)."]
