Parameter values and breeding season scenarios used to model rabbit population dynamics.

<p>Values under the <i>Population dynamics</i> heading were used for testing the effect of length and variability of breeding season on population size and extinction probability, while the <i>Response time</i> ones refer to analyses examining the potential rate of increase of rabbit populations after perturbations causing collapses. Breeding season scenarios consist of a mean (in months) and inter-annual variability (Coefficient of Variation in %) over a 30-year period of the duration of breeding season. These scenarios were aimed to be representative of the whole range of possibilities found in real populations worldwide.</p>*<p> <i>Initial density was set at carrying capacity to increase population stability.</i>
