Problem-solving capabilities as a test of predator adaptability: A comparision of bobcats (Lynx rufus) and Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)
… range while Canada lynx are specialized to hunt lagomorphs, especially snowshoe hare (<italic>Lepus americanus</italic>). Many wildlife professionals anecdotally report vast behavioral differences between these two species, but no empirical juxtaposition of the two has been published. This study …

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Host: Fleas and the History of Pikas in North America
… by the phylogenetics of the host. Pikas (small lagomorphs) host a diverse parasite community comprising endoparasites (e.g., coccidians, nematodes, and cestodes) and ectoparasites (e.g., fleas and mites). Phylogenetic analysis of pika endoparasites has revealed pikas evolved in Asia and …

The Major Histocompatibility Complex in Rabbits
… However, little is known about the MHC region in lagomorphs, requiring further investigation. In this PhD thesis, we started by characterising the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class II genes in rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Full-length transcripts were sequenced using PacBio …

Biochronology and magnetostratigraphy of the Pliocene Panaca Formation, southeast Nevada
… taxa are cricetid and heteromyid rodents, and lagomorphs. Twenty-seven species, including five new species, were recognized from the fauna. A new genus of microtine rodent, Nevadomys, including three new species, N. fejfari, N. lindsayi, and N. downsi, is recognized. Nevadomys was probably …

Evaluation of Bobcat (Lynx rufus) Survival, Harvest, and Population Size in the West-Central Region of South Dakota
… 2013–2014 (P = 0.006) harvest seasons. Annually, lagomorphs comprised the largest percent frequency of stomach contents, except for lands east of the Missouri River during the 2014–2015 harvest season (small mammal and ungulate). Our confidence intervals overlap for our population estimates …

Artificial Night Lighting and Anthropogenic Noise Alter Animal Activity, Body Condition, Species Richness, and Community Structure
… level (nocturnal mammals, diurnal mammals, lagomorphs, birds, mesocarnivores, and ungulates). We showed that both light and noise pollution did alter species richness and that these effects can differ depending on the scale of observation. Increased levels of night-lighting had a …
