Abstract
The use of rabbit faeces as a source of pollen for project studies on the animal's habitat and diet is described. A full account of the method of collection in the field, laboratory treatment, and slide preparation is given. Reference is made to three examples collected from mown sward, limestone pasture, and moorland habitats, to illustrate the potential for interpretation and identification of habitat and diet from the pollen spectra obtained.
