Causes of Mortality and Disease in Rabbits and Hares: A Retrospective Study

open access: yesAnimals, 2020
In this study we determined the causes of mortality and disease in a total of 325 lagomorphs (rabbits and hares) in northern Spain between 2000 and 2018. Risk factors such as the species, age, sex, time of year and origin were also considered.

Enzymatic Treatment of Lignin in Alkaline Homogeneous Systems: A Review on Alkaliphilic Laccases

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 10, May 19, 2025.
This review summarizes the enzymatic treatment of lignin in alkaline homogeneous systems, with a focus on alkaliphilic laccases. Unlike native laccases that promote lignin polymerization under acidic conditions, these enzymes work in basic pH, where industrial lignins are soluble.

Exposure to West Nile Virus in Wild Lagomorphs in Spanish Mediterranean Ecosystems

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 207-214, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Background West Nile virus (WNV) is the most widely distributed mosquito‐borne flavivirus. Over the past decade, its spread across Europe has raised significant concerns for both public and animal health. Although WNV exposure has been evidenced in various wild mammal species in Spain, no seroepidemiological studies have been conducted on this

Group Selection and the Evolution of Myxomatosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Before it is possible to asses the importance of group selection in nature, it is necessary to rigorously define this term. A definition of group selection is derived from a critical analysis of conceptions common in the biological literature.
