Faunistic and ecological features of the order Lagomorpha in the Vologda Region, Russia
Трансформация экосистем, 2022 Two species of the order Lagomorpha inhabit the territory of the Vologda Region (Russia), mountain hare Lepus timidus L.,1758 (common species) and brown hare Lepus europaeus Pallas, 1778 (rare species), as well as their hybrid (“tumak” hare).

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Haplotype associated RNA expression (HARE) improves prediction of complex traits in maize.
PLoS Genetics, 2021 Genomic prediction typically relies on associations between single-site polymorphisms and traits of interest. This representation of genomic variability has been successful for predicting many complex traits.

Three‐dimensional digital analysis of musteloid masticatory muscle architecture
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Musteloids span an enormous breadth of dietary modes within a single superfamily. In this study, we utilize digital dissection techniques to reconstruct the internal 3D anatomy of muscles within the musteloid feeding apparatus, and explore how dietary specializations might alter the size, orientation, and curvature of fascicles therein.

Recombinant Myxoma Virus in European Brown Hares, 2023–2024
Emerging Infectious DiseasesRecombinant myxoma virus has emerged in European brown hares (Lepus europaeus), causing increased deaths associated with swollen eyelids, head edema, and dermatitis at face, legs, and perineum. Introduction may date back as far as September 2020.

Scaling and ecomorphology of lagomorph body shape and appendicular skeleton
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Body shape is one of the most prominent features of phenotypic variation. Yet, mammalian body shapes are poorly quantified and the underlying components contributing to its diversity and its relationship to other skeletal components are rarely tested.

Evaluating Bergmann's and Allen's rules in the long bones of the eastern gray squirrel
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Ecogeographical rules predict variation in body size and appendage proportions across climatic gradients, yet intraspecific tests using long bones from wild populations remain limited among small mammals. This study tests the hypothesis that eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) conform to Bergmann's rule, that is, body size increases ...

auslegung: a journal of philosophy, 2004 A large portion of the work of moral philosopher R. M. Hare presents his attempt to ground normative ethics on mctaethics— the logic of moral reasoning and the meanings of the moral words. According to Hare's metaethical analysis, moral judgments are to be understood in terms of universal prescriptivism, which yields an act utilitarian account of ...

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Objective Low copy number (CN) of complement C4 isoforms and high CN of retroviral HERV‐K elements are known risk factors for many immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), often showing sex‐biased effects. Here, we assessed whether CN variation within the C4 gene contributes to giant cell arteritis (GCA) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), two complex ...
