The diet of a Lagomorph, the European Wild Rabbit Oryctolagus cunniculus, and that of an omnivorous Rodent, the Wood Mouse Apodemus sylvaticus, are compared using microscopic analysis of the feces. The two studies were carried out simultaneously in a heathland of Brittany, five years after a fire. The species of plants and the plant parts consumed are listed. The seasonal variations in the consumption of aerial plant parts are considered only for those plant species which are dominant in the diet. The trophic niches of rabbits and wood mice in this specific environment are described ; there is very little overlap between the diets of the two species. The feeding strategies of these two herbivores can be summarized as follows : — The Wood...
