The authors studied body weights, metabolic profiles (glucose, urea, cholesterol, Ca, P, Mg, Na, K, Cl, ALT and AST) EBHS antisera levels, census results and some habitat traits of the forest-grassland landscape (altitude, sun-exposition ground characteristics water-sources, vegetative cover, predators presence, habitat management) of brown hare populations. Blood samples were collected from 200 brown hares captured in 34 protected areas of Tuscany (Central Italy). Hierarchical clusterings were performed separately for metabolic profiles, body weights, EBHS antisera and habitat traits. Preliminary results suggest the possibility to use tthe body weight with the metabolic profiles of the hares to evaluate the habitat suitability while the eBHS antisera levels would be used for game management (Animal relocation).

Abstract
The authors studied body weights, metabolic profiles (glucose, urea, cholesterol, Ca, P, Mg, Na, K, Cl, ALT and AST) EBHS antisera levels, census results and some habitat traits of the forest-grassland landscape (altitude, sun-exposition ground characteristics water-sources, vegetative cover, predators presence, habitat management) of brown hare populations. Blood samples were collected from 200 brown hares captured in 34 protected areas of Tuscany (Central Italy). Hierarchical clusterings were performed separately for metabolic profiles, body weights, EBHS antisera and habitat traits. Preliminary results suggest the possibility to use tthe body weight with the metabolic profiles of the hares to evaluate the habitat suitability while the eBHS antisera levels would be used for game management (Animal relocation).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
