Hematology and serum biochemistry reference intervals were estimated for the Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis). Most parameters differed significantly between hunted and livetrapped Iberian hares. Significant differences were found for sex (red blood cell count, mean corpuscular volume, total protein, albumin, uric acid, triglycerides, cholesterol, chloride) and age classes (red blood cell count, hematocrit, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, glucose, calcium, and sodium). Sex- and age-specific reference intervals were estimated for these parameters. Red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, urea, and potassium show seasonal variations, with the lowest values in summer and the highest in winter. Creatinine, calcium, sodium, and phosphorus achieve their highest values in summer and stable baseline values throughout the rest of the year. These reference intervals can be used as baseline to monitor health, physiology, ecology, and nutrition of Iberian hare populations.
为伊比利亚兔（Lepus granatensis）估算了血液学和血清生化参考区间。大多数参数在被猎捕和被陷阱捕获的伊比利亚兔之间存在显著差异。在性别（红细胞计数、平均红细胞体积、总蛋白、白蛋白、尿酸、甘油三酯、胆固醇、氯）和年龄组（红细胞计数、血细胞比容、平均红细胞血红蛋白、葡萄糖、钙和钠）方面发现了显著差异。为这些参数估计了性别和年龄特异性参考区间。红细胞计数、血红蛋白浓度、平均红细胞血红蛋白、尿素和钾呈现季节性变化，夏季最低，冬季最高。肌酐、钙、钠和磷在夏季达到最高值，在其余时间保持稳定的基线值。这些参考区间可用于监测伊比利亚兔种群的健康、生理、生态和营养状况。
