Effects of historically familiar and novel predator odors on the physiology of an introduced prey by Mella, V., Cooper, C., Davies, Stephen

“…We examined the physiological response, as shown by changes in ventilatory variables, of an introduced terrestrial herbivore, the European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, in Australia, to the odor of potential predators and to control odors (distilled water and horse), to explore if responses were limited to historical (cat and fox) predators, or extended to historically novel predators (snake and quoll). …”

The introduction of the brown hare to Britain and its bio-cultural impact: zooarchaeological and morphometric approaches by Fowler, Thomas

“…The religious and secular festival of Easter provides a case study with which to explore this phenomenon in the British archaeological and historical record, as its three associated animals - the brown hare, European rabbit, and chicken - are all not native to Britain. …”

Molecular characterization of adipose tissue in the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) by Nilsson, Emeli M., Fainberg, Hernan P., Choong, Siew S., Giles, Thomas C., Sells, James, May, Sean, Stansfield, Fiona J., Allen, William R., Emes, Richard D., Mostyn, Alison, Mongan, Nigel P., Yon, Lisa

“…The derived protein sequence of the elephant leptin protein was exploited to determine its relationship within the class I helical cytokine superfamily, which indicates that elephant leptin is most closely related to the leptin orthologs of Oryctolagus cuniculus (European rabbit), Lepus oiostolus (woolly hare), and members of the Ochotonidae (Pika). …”

Seed dispersal of alien and native plants by vertebrate herbivores by Calvino-Cancela, Maria

“…I studied factors associated with dispersal of alien and native seeds by the three most important vertebrate herbivores in SW Australia: emus (Dromaius novaehollandia), western grey kangaroos (Macropus fuliginosus) and European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Overall frequencies of alien and native seeds dispersed by these herbivores were determined by differences among them in (1) the plant groups they predominantly disperse, that differed in frequencies of aliens versus natives, and (2) the predominant dispersal of aliens or natives within those plant groups. …”
