Resumo

ABSTRACT Managers use latrine surveys to monitor swamp rabbit ( Sylvilagus aquaticus ) populations but may miss rabbits in sites lacking suitable latrine logs. We tested artificial latrine logs in logless thickets in southern Illinois, USA, generally detecting swamp rabbits in fewer visits than by live‐trapping. Artificial logs can aid swamp rabbit monitoring, especially in logless habitats.
