Evolutionary patterns in the dentition of duplicidentata (mammalia) and a novel trend in the molarization of premolars. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: The cusp homology of Lagomorpha has long been problematic largely because their teeth are highly derived relative to their more typically tribosphenic ancestors.

Ecological correlates to cranial morphology in Leporids (Mammalia, Lagomorpha) [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2015
The mammalian order Lagomorpha has been the subject of many morphometric studies aimed at understanding the relationship between form and function as it relates to locomotion, primarily in postcranial morphology.

Analysis of substitution rates showed that TLR5 is evolving at different rates among mammalian groups

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are the most widely studied innate immunity receptors responsible for recognition of invading pathogens. Among the TLR family, TLR5 is the only that senses and recognizes flagellin, the major protein of bacterial ...

Anatomy of the Nasal and Auditory Regions of the Fossil Lagomorph Palaeolagus haydeni: Systematic and Evolutionary Implications

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Palaeolagus, a late Eocene to early Miocene North American lagomorph genus, represented by numerous and well-preserved specimens, has been long considered a basal leporid, although it is currently understood as a stem lagomorph.

Not so unique to Primates: The independent adaptive evolution of TRIM5 in Lagomorpha lineage.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
The plethora of restriction factors with the ability to inhibit the replication of retroviruses have been widely studied and genetic hallmarks of evolutionary selective pressures in Primates have been well documented.

The morphofunctional characteristic of euarchontoglires’ intestine

open access: yesRUDN Journal of Agronomy and Animal Industries, 2014
The research results of morphofunctional peculiarities of lagomorpha and rodentia intestine are represented. The peculiarities of the intestine’s structural functioning of the examined species are also represented.

Study of Sylvilagus rabbit TRIM5α species-specific domain: how ancient endoviruses could have shaped the antiviral repertoire in Lagomorpha

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Since the first report of the antiretroviral restriction factor TRIM5α in primates, several orthologs in other mammals have been described. Recent studies suggest that leporid retroviruses like RELIK, the first reported endogenous lentivirus ...

FOSSIL LAGOMORPHA (MAMMALIA) OF ITALY: SYSTEMATICS AND BIOCHRONOLOGY

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2020
Revisions performed in the last 15 years added remarkable novelties to the taxonomy and biochronology of Italian fossil lagomorphs. Several new taxa have been erected basing on new materials and on the revision of old materials.

Phylogenetic analyses of complete mitochondrial genome sequences suggest a basal divergence of the enigmatic rodent Anomalurus

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007
Background Phylogenetic relationships between Lagomorpha, Rodentia and Primates and their allies (Euarchontoglires) have long been debated. While it is now generally agreed that Rodentia constitutes a monophyletic sister-group of Lagomorpha and that this
