摘要：

Jackrabbits became active within 30 min. of sunset and retreated to daytime forms under shrubs between dawn and sunrise regardless of season. At night, jackrabbits spent between 3.5 and 4.5 h feeding, and eating occurred intermittently throughout the night. Behavioral adaptations to extremes of desert temperatures are discussed.
