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

“…Although this hypothesis is supported among species sharing similar locomotive constraints (e.g. dorsomobile versus dorsostable species), whether it applies at the within-species level is unknown. We test this hypothesis using species of Leporidae (rabbits and hares) with different locomotive abilities: we examined the number of presacral vertebrae and the frequency of abnormalities in 504 specimens from 4 species, representing cursorial, saltatorial and generalist modes. …”
