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. …”
