Lagomorph Phylogeny and Paleobiogeography

The Asian origin of lagomorphs and their mixodont allies led to a subsequent radiation and evolution of endemic lagomorph faunas in Europe, Asia, and North America. Investigations have centered on evolutionary trends within the lagomorphs and biogeographic factors that led to their present distributions.
