Abstract
Rabbits (O. cuniculus) were recently introduced to central Chile; adult rabbits were previously reported to exhibit a release in their use of microhabitats due to lack of effective predation upon them. Kittens and juvenile rabbits do not exhibit the same microhabitat use pattern as adults, in spite of the very low predation pressure upon them. Small rabbits are ecologically comparable to native rodents.
