Does fast running limit numerical variability of the vertebral column in rabbits and hares (Leporidae: Lagomorpha)? by Megu Gunji, Nuttakorn Taewcharoen, Fumio Yamada, Emma Sherratt

“…In mammalian vertebral columns, locomotive ability is expected to be an evolutionary driver of variation in the number of vertebrae; in species evolved to run fast or have a flexible vertebral column, they generally have limited numerical variation and low occurrence of malformed vertebrae to maintain their running performance. …”

Regulatory logic of endogenous RNAi in silencing de novo genomic conflicts. by Jeffrey Vedanayagam, Ching-Jung Lin, Ranjith Papareddy, Michael Nodine, Alex S Flynt, Jiayu Wen, Eric C Lai

“…In particular, hairpin RNA (hpRNA) loci generate endo-siRNAs that suppress evolutionary novel, X-linked, meiotic drive loci. The consequences of deleting even a single hpRNA (Nmy) in males are profound, as such individuals are nearly incapable of siring male progeny. …”
