“…The taxon przewalskii is still controversial and the taxonomic status of centrasiaticus has not been resolved due to its morphological similarities to Lepus oiostolus, and its morphometric (Cheng et al, 2012) and molecular affinity to L. tolai (Wu et al, 2011;Smith et al, 2018). Possible paraphyly of some taxa such as L. timidus and Lepus tolai in China (Wu et al, 2005;Shan et al, 2020); Lepus capensis s.l. in Africa (Lado et al, 2016) and L. timidus from northern Europe, Siberia, and Fennoscandian regions (Waltari and Cook, 2005) add to the complexity of the taxonomic status of some of the members of the genus Lepus and essential need for revision based on complete genome phylogenetic analyses.…”

Due to their global distribution, invasive history, and unique characteristics, European rabbits are recognizable almost anywhere on our planet. Although they are members of a much larger group of living and extinct mammals [Mammalia, Lagomorpha (rabbits, hares, and pikas)], the group is often characterized by several well-known genera (e.g., Oryctolagus, Sylvilagus, Lepus, and Ochotona). This representation does not capture the extraordinary diversity of behavior and form found throughout the order. Model organisms are commonly used as exemplars for biological research, but there are a limited number of model clades or lineages that have been used to study evolutionary morphology in a more explicitly comparative way. We present this review paper to show that lagomorphs are a strong system in which to study macro- and micro-scale patterns of morphological change within a clade that offers underappreciated levels of diversity. To this end, we offer a summary of the status of relevant aspects of lagomorph biology.
