European Hare (Lepus europaeus Pallas, 1778) Hair Morphology from Anatolia, Europe, North Israel, as well as of Cape hares (L. capensis L.,1758) from South Israel

Abstract
In this study we studied the following questions: How meaningful are data on hair morphology and fur phenotypes for the systematics of hares (Lepus europaeus Pallas 1778)? and Do hair characteristic reflect phylogeographic or ecogeographic variation? DA results indicate that macro measurements are concordant with taxonomic considerations; obviously they are affected more from ecological environment. On the other hand, instead of color zones and hair lengths, micro measurements are more significant datum for taxonomic (with support other datum) and ecologic studies. After the discriminant function analysis with the hair diameters, Anatolia, south-east Anatolia, north Israel and south Israel groups are very distinctive but Europe specimens are scattered on Israel and Anatolian populations. On the other hand, mean width of the hair cross section diameter is closely related with the annual ambient temperature.
