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.
